How hot is your PC!

Don't worry, this isn't in the wrong forum! I recently borrowed my work's thermal imaging camera and took some quick snaps of my work PC. These are the results:

Brownie points if you can guess the mobo, cpu cooler, and gfx card!

top pics, very iteresting. I would have never have guessed the chipset (?) heatsinks being the hottest.

Cool photos, a guide for the temp range of the photos would be cool.

Well unless you're playing a game or benchmarking then the GPU won't be doing much and the CPU seems to have some kind of liquid cooling so heat will be getting sucked away fairly quickly (also computer is probably idle so not doing much either ) so this just leaves the other parks

Mines that hot it goes on dates and has a healthy sexual relationship with other macs. Mmmmmm

Owning a stock 480, both the heat and shape seem to say, yes, yes it is!

Corsair H50 or asetek unbranded OEM version with a ASUS p6x58d-e?

Might have more luck googling "Thermal Imaging Camera rental" although be warned, they are not cheap!

Temp scale for the internal shots are 20c to 60c
