Motherboard Temp

[niceguy1234]

I finish up a new build with Asus P6T and i7 920. Overclock it to 3.5Ghz (bclk at 175). Use Everest to check temp. The MB temp is 48C at cool start, 60C at idle and 68C at full load. CPU temp is 45C at idle and 55C at full load.

I think this MB temp sensor reading is too high. Where is this MB sensor located, northbridge or southbridge? I have 2 4870 1Gb in crossfire, and it generate a lot of heat I know. But I have a big antec case.

Any suggestion to cool down the MB temp?

Those temps may be close to accurate. They aren't that high, considering your overclock. Core i7 is a 130 watt cpu. I wouldn't change any of the board heatsinks, as it could void your warranty, and you might need it someday.
