Even if you don't rplace the TIM, pull (carefully!) off those pretty (stupid) metal covers that go over the fins on the NB and SB ... they restrict the air flow to cool them ... what a stupid idea by asus marketing to cover up heatsinks : They are just held on by adhesive ... you can 'peel' them off carefully.
I was careful pulling mine off so i can put em back on if i need to rma the mobo.
If the temps are real, i would expect instability and errors ... on all my folding rigs, including this mobo, I have to keeps MB temps below 40C or errors will result.
In addition, you can mount a small fan to the top of them with a few screws.

pscout said:Instability is in the eye of the beholder ... errors in folding for me are instability. Windows never crashes unless cpu temps get too high. Some other data sensitive apps could also be 'unstable' but if you don't run such apps, then you will never experience that type of instability.

ToMo said:I'm having a similar problem. My CPU (E6600) is currently running at 25c and the mobo is sitting at 53c (P5W DH Deluxe). Bios revision is 0801.
