heya, just set up a new comp everythings running fine.  2 SLI enabled 8800GTs, MSI Eclipse Plus Mobo, 6 Gigs OCZ DDR3 1600.

The mainboard temp is way too high though??  CPU is at 30C, Case at 48C, IOH temp 88C?  Have a nice coolermaster HAF 932 case, 4 big fans, a V8 heatsink on the CPU.  Any suggestions?  Did they send me a damaged board?  I'm kind of a noob at this stuff.  The only thing I can think of is that the board came without a Cmos battery, so maybe they sent it damaged?  Appreciate anyones 2 cents on the matter.

It is known that the IOH heatsink is ill-conditioned and have a lot of users at these temperatures.

In normal use the temps are not a problem, but when you will oc the board it could be a limiting factor.

You could think about watercooling the system , replace the thermal paste,  increase the contact pressure, try a spot cooler, or change the board.
