Here's my computers temperatures while idle or just browsing the internet:

(I don't understand why the motherboard is so hot, it sometimes reaches 48 as idle)

Here's the temperatures playing Final Fantasy 14 on high settings:

(this surprised me as I put new thermal paste in just about a day ago and it was still high temps 72+ on the graphics card, now it seems to be below 60)

Is there any way I can bring these temps down further specifically for the motherboard? thanks!

Edit: it's going back to 72+ degrees on video card)

(EDIT: nvm its going back to 72+ on the video card....what the)

Your temperatures don't seem that high, although you should check your CPU temps through AMD Overdrive (just use to monitor temps not actually overclock- always overclock though bios). FX CPUs have a well deserved reputation for reporting false temps to a lot of programs, only AMD Overdrive is recognized as reporting accurate temps for FX processors. The only real way to get cooler temps on your motherboard is to add case fans and ensure your case fans are pulling air in from the bottom and front of the case (possibly side as well) and pushing air out the top and back of the case. If you find your CPU needs more cooling you can upgrade aftermarket heat sinks, and make sure you have a scheduled time to open your case up and blow it...
