I have GA-990FXA-UD5 rev 1.0 motherboard. This is my first AMD rig so i don't know what temps i should have. I noticed that even on stock clocks on my FX-6300 the heatsinks on mosfets (around cpu) is pretty warm, warmer that bare hand. I think somewhere near 45c maybe.
is it normal?

the 990fxa series have been known to have bad heatsinks and they can get pretty hot by overclocking, specifically the UD3. But this was fixed in a later revision. And the UD5 or UD7 doesn't have this problem. So temperatuers are fine. They will get hot when putting load on your cpu.
