@amitash:

dude, since u too hv the same mobo as mine (Evga X5, wats the max temp ur mobo goes upto wen playing games on it??

Also, do u keep the side panel open or closed while playing.. ???
----------

Wen i do normal PC work and net surfing, the temp is around 34-38 deg C and while gaming the mobo temp shows 55-56 deg C... (i keep side panel open/ removed) and cabinet is CM690 ........

I am asking this as im not really sure if these are stable temps or over normal ??
Those temps are perfectly fine...im on water so i have better airflow and get 45-50C while gaming, i keep side panel on my antec900 closed with a side fan to cool my GPU.

BTW, what's your CPU & GPU temp after some heavy gaming ?
CPU temp never goes past 60C while gaming (crysis at ultra high 16xAA)..on 100% load, it doesnt cross 66C...but it does touch around 78-80C at 4Ghz full load

As for the GPU, MAN thats one hot beast...crysis at highest gives 75-80C...I have to inc the fan speeed to 100% which makes it damn noisy to get <70C...now however i added a side fan that solves the prob quite easily.
