Hello all, I'm running a P5N-E sli mobo and Dual core 2 e6400 with 3 gig of ram at 667 pc2-5300 and was wondering about my mobo temp its running at 39c cpu is rather good at 27c was wondering if my mobo temp is normal or what? I have a FS-C77 cpu cooler running at 2220 rpm's atm...Also around 5 other 80mm fans also a 8800 GTS 320mb xfx OC'ed also Hiper-R 580w PS.. i thought i might give you my PC spec's since everything that generates heat might be a problem.... Remember im wondering about my mobo temp is it fine or what could be fixed here? Thanks...

My mobo temp is 5C hotter than my Core temps, these X38's run hotter. NVidia chipsets run abit hotter than say a P35 chipset, 39C isn't bad or anything but it would always be nicer to run cooler. What is you ambient temp inside your PC case? Is it hot outside?

Its rainy here, its about room temp (70F) here, my case has so much airflow that I have to clean all five 120mm fans once every two months. One thing about these 8800 series cards is they run hot out of the box, then you OC it which adds more heat to the system. Have you OC'ed you processor and what CPU cooler? Might try lowering your Northbridge Vcore a little then test it for stability.
