It pretty much doesn't matter what the motherboard temperature is. It's not the temperature of your motherboard chipset. The motherboard temperature is taken from a sensor located at the edge of the board (possibly under your video card heat exhaust) in or near the Winbond chip outlined in green as shown in this picture:
I know this because I can spray very cold air directly onto just this one chip and the motherboard temperature will suddenly go way down then slowly back up and the chip heats back up.
BTW, the motherboard chipset on this motherboard appears to stay "cool enough" during overclocking as to not be any sort of impediment.
