Hi all please help I just recently upgraded my 1.7 gig to a new motherboard and processor (2.8 gig)

I thought my inadequate fan was the problem but i`ve since bought a new one & in bios set up the cpu
temp is reported at around 60 DEGREE celcius, I think this is okay.

But my motherboard temp is reported around 50 degree celcius I think this is too high & the computer restarted while I was playing a game, I figure this is a saftey cut out.

How the *censored* do I cool the board down? Is their a WAY around this? bios setup perhaps needs changing?
Please help!!!

Regards, Del.
Tell us about case fans and other ventilation issues. If you remove the side panel and blow a fan directly in there are you able to game without incident?60 degrees celcius?! mine operates at 41, or 42, which is about 105 farenhite, if mine gets to 122, then it starts beeping. if yours is getting to 60, you have VERY SERIOS heat\cooling issues, DO NOT turn that computer on again unless you have more fans, or you could try operating it without the side panels, i have to operate mine like that, my computer was built by my dad, he unfortunatly thought one lil 80mm fan was enough to keep it cool, but it was no where near enough...Dead 60 Degrees isn't hot for a CPU, its warm , but no need to panic if it was over 80 id be a bit worryed... the System temp being 50 is a bit high tho

I would make sure you had Good Airflow, Are your computer Cables all over your Case? If so make sure to tidy them up and try to make the inside of the Case more Roomy , and make sure none or your IDE cables are BLOCKING up FANs. There so big it can be hard to get them out of the way.

And check to see that all the case fans are FREE flowing and not full of dust
