Hello All,
I have finished a recent 4770 build and have noticed that the motherboard is nearly always 5 - 8 degrees C hotter than cpu. I am a bit puzzled by this as usually it's the cpu that runs hotter. This occurs idle or underload (mainly from gaming).
The only thing I can think of is the video card is heating the board. It is a his iceQ turbo 7950.
Any ideas on other possibilities? As summer is starting here, I am worried that the system will cook before the end of the year.
Much appreciated.
