Ok so TMPIN1 states the motherboard temperature. To fully understand whether it is operating at that temp I recommend you download and install SpeedFan which also has a motherboard temperature sensor. In all fairness motherboards tend to operate at 0-60 Degrees, so even though your motherboard is quite hot it is still not going to cause damage to any other components. The only possibility is that it will shorten your motherboards life span. That said there are ways to resolve this issue and decrease your temperatures by a bit. Firstly adding case fans preferably at the side of your case as intake will blow cool air directly at the motherboard. Can I ask how old the motherboard is?

SpeedFan download>http://www.almico.com/sfdownload.php (you want to dowload version 4.49)

well that is a major reason why your components are hot?! you need to have a cooling fan otherwise what will blow cool air into the system and blow hot air out!

I recommend you get as many cooling fans as your motherboard can support.

I Had installed 2 new cooling fans fixed at side of cabinet pumping air in , still the temp remain same.
