how hot can my asus NB run while on the safe side?

I have a 780g asus board and I'm ready to start messing with my HT, Everything is stock on my board. Should I purchase a NB cooler or place a 120mm fan blowing on the boards NB?

Last question, can anyone tell me why the cpu temp is higher then my core temps. HWmonitor = cpu temp 39-40ish and the core temps 26-36ish.

Thanks for the help!
 
NBs can usually get very hot, like GPUs they run stable at higher temperatures than CPUs could. My rule of thumb is that "too hot" is reached when the system is unstable in the most demanding stress tests.

Monitoring programs regularly give wrong temperature readings, I would only worry about the core temp, everything else is pointless.

If it's stable I probably wouldn't worry about it. I've got a Gigabyte with the 780 chip and the sensor reads 87C most of the time. I replaced the NB heat sink with a Zalman and a fan and some AS-5 and it dropped about 3C. The HS is centered and mounted solid, but still only slightly warm to the touch so I'm thinking the sensor is wrong. Whatever it is, the board is perfectly stable and I stopped thinking about it.

Regarding the cpu Vs. core temp, what program are you using? It sounds like the sensors may be mapped backwards. I use Speedfan and have seen that quite often on my Asus and Gigabyte boards DL and run Core Temp and see if you get the same reading.
 
Damn 87c. I guess I should stop worrying about my p35 hitting 60c. I was gonna get a fan for it but forget that most 40mm fans sound like a herd of mosquitoes
 
I was using the Asus probe II and now I'm using HWmonitor. The HW monitor reads sensor 1 41 and sensor 2 40, then the cores x 3 at 32. I once touched my NB and it was really hot. I would like to oc my HT to up my uncore. I read an article about the uncore in the cpu forms. All my voltage is stock and stable in Prim95 at 2200 HT at 3.3 ghz. So I can keep upping my HT as long as it is stable and the heat will not make a difference. I read about the older 780g board burning out. I have a recent model from asus and the NB HS is bigger.
