I tested my computer at full load and my CPU rose to 65c and my motherboard's max was 67c, is this too hot?

CPU: AMD FX-4300
MOTHERBOARD: ASUS M5A78L-M LX3

I tried to search what the max temperature was for my CPU and Motherboard but the answers varied so much I'm not sure if it is.
I know that the CPU temperature might be a bit high, but i'm interested if the Motherboard temperature is ok.

Here's a pic of the temps: http://imgur.com/0oQHZHE

Tmpin0 is your CPU core not the mb, tmpin1 is the CPU socket.
That board has no real sensors onboard so board temps are estimates.
Temps are hotter than I'd like personally but within specs.

Download amd overdrive & do a load test & check the thermal margin in that - its essentially the most accurate software there is for CPU temps.

Assuming you're using the stock cooler?

I'm using the stock cooler, yes. What kind of cooler would you suggest getting for a FX-4300? The stock one is really loud when I use it on full performance, so I kind of want to get a better one.
