chipset idles at 113F, is this too high?

[dalearyous]

my dfi board chipset is probably about 60 percent covered by my video card which cuts down on the air flow and efficiency of the chipset cooler. so ITE smart guardian tells me it idles around 113 degrees. is this bad? should i look into alternative cooling options for the chipset?

oh my CPU idles around 70 degrees and doesn't get passed 90 usually which is a big difference from my chipset. so my case itself has enough airflow and cooling just chipset i think is running too hot.


thanks

Are these in F, not C? Is your temp reading done by software or mechanical readouts?
Check your video card manufacturer's web forums.
It doesn't seem you have a temp problem with your cpu. Others would kill to get your lows, if F.

Here's a good link to compare temps on CPUs.

Here's a link that discusses temp on GPU.

Good cooling....

yeah they are in F. i just translated it for you. im not sure how the temps are measured but they are the same as the ones in the bios.
