I have the extreme motherboard but I'm not water cooling the NB, only using the silent pipe cooler. I've always though my temps where a bit high.

Currently idling, it is 49c but on a hotter day that can be in the mid to high 50c's. I've seen it get over 60c when gaming. Are these temps anything to worry about?

I'm almost thinking that my SLI'ed 260's are heating up the silentpipe NB heatsink and making the NB run hotter than it should be. Is that possible and if so, would it be better in my case to run without the silentpipe heatsink. I have a HAF 932.
