Hello i am currently using asus m4a87td-evo motherboard and i`ve noticed that my mobo temps are a little higher than my cpu is that normal
my cpu is running at 33-35 idle 47 max at full load with Prime95 stress test
and my mobo temp is going from 39-44 (39idle ,44 full load )
this looks a little strange to me is it normal thats at 20 C room temp
While i was puting togheter my pc i noticed that my mobo Northbridge stock cooler was mooving around is that normal ?
What is the max temp for my mobo chipset amd 870 ?

Those temps are normal. The mb temp is read from a different diode to the one in the CPU, so there will be some disparity between them (they are reading the temps of differernt components). The MB diode should be either near the southbridge or near the CPU vrm.

What i meant is that i think my mobo temp is too high i think it should be around 35-36 C not 44 like in my case,
because my mobo heat sink is moving around when i touch it so i just wanted to make sure it is not running to hot :)
thx for the info anyway :)
