Motherboard Temps

Running a Asus P5K-E

Do I need worry about the motherboard temps?

Currently running my FSB @ 450 with my Q6600 on *8 multiplier and RAM running at 900Mhz… Now temps on my CPU are pretty much alright around 52c at full load after an 8 hour prime test… The motherboard temp readings however can hit 48c do I need worry? I cant find anywhere something to tell me tolerance limits so just wanted to make sure this wasn’t a little to hot, before I up the speed on my fans and deafen myself!

It could just be down a higher ambient temp in your room but as cob says, your fine with those temps and beyond. The P5K-E does have quality heatsinks on them.
