This is my motherboard.

the temperature never went above 45 C but ever since i crossfired 2 4870's, the temps are max of 57 C which is causing glitches i.e. corruption of sound output.

I tried attaching two mini fans to the NB with no change, what can i do? (they unscrewed from HDD cooler)

NB never gets hot until i play games hence the new heat from CF, but i got a another card blocking any heat going to my NB so it aint GPU heat making it hot.

Are you certain it's the heat causing the glitches? What are the rest of your system specs? PSU make and model?

it stopped glitching now as i lowered voltage on my NB to reduce heat.

but anyway, 51C is way too hot anyway, even if its not creating problem it still needs fixing,

thanks for the reply.
