Hey guys.
I have an MSI z87 g45 gaming motherboard that I am concerned is running too hot. However after my many google searches I still can't determine what "too hot" actually is. Everything else including my gtx 780 runs much cooler.
In my hardware monitor, under the MSI z87 folder there are a list of temperatures that go as follows
CPU Core: Value:31.5 Max:43.5
Temperature#2: 31.0 31.0
Temp #3 22.0 22.0
Temp#4 70-90 108.0
Temp #6 123.0 123.0

There is no temp #5 and I'm concerned about the temperatures of #4 and #6, is this normal? All are in degrees C.

I don't know how to show you the whole results screen so I'll just tell you the numbers.
Temp: 31, 30, 29, 29
Distance to TJ Max: 69,71, 72, 73
Minimum: 30,28,26,27
Maximum: 33,32,31,33
it states all thermal status "ok"
Maybe the hardware monitor I was using wasn't the most accurate? "openhardwaremonitor" was the one I used

openhardwaremonitor is quite good but it's still in beta so I wouldn't trust it so much. If Real Temp shows you the values that you quoted everything looks fine in my eyes.

Thanks I appreciate the help! This computer was my first build and only a month old so I was quite concerned! In retrospect there was no heat that felt like anything even close to the max 75*C that my graphics card was pumping out, let alone 130*C. I got nervous about that too but finding out the correct operating temps for that on google was much easier :D
