I just setup my first WC rig with EVGA 680i, Q6600 and Corsair memory. No overclocking yet. I have an issue with dominator pc2-8888 memory.
Here is a link to my WC rig.

Basically, my CPU, GPU and NB is watercooled.
I get following temperatures in BIOS.
CPU: 28C / 85F
Board: 31C / 88F <- is this northbridge temp? Is this high?
MCP: 93C / 199F <- then what's this?
28C and 31C are good, right? I am guessing (after searching internet) that MCP temperature is the power mosfets' temperature. And I believe that my EVGA 680i board has passive heatsinks on them near CPU. I know this temp definately has risen because I don't remember ever seeing temp in the 90c.
I used to have Ninja with 120mm fan blowing in the direction of one of those passive heatsinks so now with WC there are no fans directly blowing air near cpu area.
My questions:
1. What is MCP refering to?
2. What's a decent temp readings in BIOS for MCP?
3. Is 'board' temp refering to NB temp?
I'll ask question on corsair dominator issue in another thread.
Thanks for the help.
