CPU And Mobo Temps

[weazz]

I just built my 1st sli system specs are:

Asus P5N32-SLI DELUXE
FSP 600W PSU
4 CORSAIR 512MB 5400C4PRO
2 EVGA 6800 ULTRAS
P4 3.73EE
SPIRE 9001 CPU FAN
2 WD RAPTORS 74G
1 MAXTOR 200G
X-FI
THERMALTAKE SHARK

Ok i think that about covers it,my cpu idles about 109F and mobo runs about 111F...is this normal? When i play BF2 temp jumps to about 140F CPU and 130 for the mobo,the game start to get choppy letting me know im over heating..i keep the door off the case and point a fan into it,to help it cool when playing games...I dont use the SLI because it keeps locking up my game.
Do you think if i went to Liquid Cooling it might help?...im pretty new to this build and to my knowlage im not overclocking (oc runs by software from asus). Any info would be great..Thanks!

lol.. SLI with 6800 Ultras.. NICE

You will get much more help if you post temps in Celicus as that is standard for computer temperatures.

For a P4 which is a heat generating machine.. 60C in a game is about normal really. I doubt you are overheating, It probably has more to do with your video card then anything else.

A $230 X1900XT will totally smash 2 6800 Ultras.
