Idle temps are not very helpful, normally, unless they are really high which indicates poor contact between cooler base and cpu face.
What are you using to cool the CUP with? I don't see that in the list.
On idle, it doesn't help at all.One thing..... how warm is the room your computer is in? your room temp can make a big difference. I agree with Trents TMPIN2 is most likely your socket temp. There are a few things you can do to help lower them though with only a 4 + 1 power phase it leave me wondering if it is worth spending more money chasing something that might not be reachable.
Here's a little test you can do to possibly determine some of your cooling issues. Take the sides off your case and point a house fan in and test your tempo under load and see what your tempo are.
I'm not home but may check in later or tomorrow depending if I have any time.
FievelJ, the next step would be for you to go out and purchase a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo Cpu cooler and then report back to us. You really have no where to go with this until you get better cooling and that would be true even if you got a better motherboard.
To get the same cooling power from a water system you will pay more money than you would for good air cooling. Water cooling is not automatically better than air cooling and has other potential issues. For instance, if your water cooler's pump dies then your CPU could be toast. Air coolers don't die. Even if the fans stop there's enough cooling left to prevent damage to the CPU. Just better give all that some thought.
You have a PM.
Okay this isn't right.

No listing for max temps?

Don't ask me what the max is, cause I don't know.
