Well the motherboard temp if you have good cooling should be at the same temperature as your room or a few degres hotter! Mine is at 27 right now and it was at 25 this morning.

in the winter my cusl2 just run at 27 c, but now run at 36 c i just open up the case and run at 34 c now

If it's cooler when your case is open then you don't have proper airflow in it. Try to add a case fan or something.

36C is a little high, but nothing to worry about i'd think 🙂 i agree, try to get another case fan, preferably two the same size, one will intake and one will exhaust. also find out if there's a rat's nest of ribbon cables anywhere that could be blocking airflow 🙂

a little warm, but very much within tolerance... you don't have to worry till you get to low and mid 40's...
