Just put 1 more extra 120mm fan , temps from

CPU Temp = 38
M/Board Temp = 40

now

CPU Temp = 38
M/Board Temp = 31


thats more like it, what temp monitor are you using and have you got cpu-z as i want to know what voltage the chip is running

Had a look on cpu-z , the voltage is between 1.37-1.408 , is this ok ?

The temp monitor i am running is EVEREST (The 30 day version)

thats ok just checking, the mobo normally give the chip 1.4volts when the cpu is designed for 1.35v, good thing with fx57 are ya can just up the multiplier to 15 and you have 3ghz, in the bois it will have an option from 6-25 just choose 15 and your done, 1.408 volts will be enough the be stable as well, if ya want let me know your msn and ill talk you though it, its dead easy
 
Thanks for you help , i dont have msn but you could always talk to me step by step via phone or drop me a email :) i also think the problem is i have a very small mesh atx case with not a lot of room for air to flow , i just manage to squeeze my Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro CPU Cooler and i will replace it with a Thermaltake bigger case , i stuck another 120mm fan inside which has dropped the motherboard temp down to 29-30, the cpu temp is still at 38 , what i am finding is that on the motherboard is a small chip fan that gets very warm

you need a very thin covering of it. however, it takes a good few days before its fully set and your temps should fall a bit in that time.
