p5w dh mb temp? 52 idle??

I noted some pvc protective cover over the heatsinks ? from production I have taken this off but its made no difference, I also undid the dig home sink and applied a little extra paste to that set, the ausus one I will have to take the board out to remove the heat sinks plastic sprung plugs to check under that one.
anyway it been running five minutes now and the temps are still 51 deg on mobo idel?

what should the idel temps be?
thanks

Well I swapped out the first board for another as i thought 52 deg idle was to high the second board still reads 47 deg which is two degree up on the default alert settting.
It is a pain the backside having one of the chipsets under my 7900gtx slot 1 you would have some trouble fitting any cooling device if any to this chip set (the one with asus printed on it).

I have purchased my artic silver today and will commence basic mods to h/sinks as directed in the link above to see if that bring the temps down.

Has anyone managed to fit a small fan or waterblock to these chip set with any success ?
 
Finnished the above mods as directed in link above to h/sinks stripped the north and south bridge badges off and cleaned and re seated with artic silver mobo now reading 43 degs, which is better but not below 40 deg c.

Once the rigs as stable as I can get it I will crank it up.
