Motherboard is an oven... What to do?

[DdotRoq]

Hello Everyone,

I am wondering why my motherboard gets soo hot. It goes up to 50 degrees Celsius. I there anything I can do? I really don't have much space in case to add a fan.

Is 50 degrees celsius okay or is that overboard for a P6T Deluxe? At boot up it is around 43 celsius and raises to 50 average after 35 minutes.

I currently have a Sunon 40x40 fan on the Southbridge, an Asus heatsink fan on one of the northbridge heatsinks.

Thanks!

My RE II without added fans also goes up to 50°C, with sidepanel fan drops to 40°C... didn't have any stability issues yet but I prefer whne it runs cooler

50 is fine
