hey my motherboard is getting hot
my motherboard is gigabyte z270x gaming 7
here are my temperatures
tz00 - idle 27.8c load 27.8c
tz01 - idle 29.8c load 29.8c
tmpin0 - idle trial load trial
tmpin1 - idle 48c load 48c
tmpin2 - idle 36c load 63c
tmpin3 - idle 36c load 37c
tmpin4 - idle 41c load 51c

im attaching my hw monitor screenshot - http://i.imgur.com/A3Nhr6S.jpg

im using 280mm liquid cooler on my cpu and my gpu is watercooled 120mm
 
using a liquid cooler will only lower the temperature of the CPU. What about your case? How many fans have you got installed? Is the case tightly sealed? You need at least a fan on the front lower part of the case and another one right behind the CPU on the back of the case so you can create an air current.
 


case is s340 elite , yesterday i opened my case to mount my motherboard with new standoffs and picked my motherboard with top heatsink because i didnt wanna remove the cpu cooler.
 

Where do you have the radiator of the liquid cooler installed? It could also be causing your motherboard to overheat.There are also reports of other people that used liquid cooling with your case had simillar problems due to inadequate exhausts.
 

my 280 radiator is at front with intake config and back also has intake with pushpull gpu radiator , only top fan is exhaust
 

I strongly beleive that the heat generated inside the case is too much for a single exhaust to be able to cool it. take a look at this picture and try to match it as much as possible, though i am not sure you can do it with the radiator inside. Maybe make some modification and add it outside somewhere?

cant do modification , i just want to know if those temperatures are safe or not
this is my setup - https://mega.nz/#!oJ4Gwa7I!Dvm0tRds3FRC5azHX1h-KZFSNBsTXciRmxMCqGUfubM
 
And since you don't have air cooler, stock cooler preferably, it is not really cooling the motherboard around VRM, so even that can cause little bit higher than usual temps, but still, these are totally fine temps.
 

63 C are higher than expected but not too much. Everyone suggests 60 C as the high normal temp of the northbridge chip that tmpin2 is showing. A lot of people got that under control by several degrees by changing the cooler on the northbridge. Maybe you could make a few easy modifications yourself, have a look at this video.

there is no cooler on the north bridge there is one heatpipe there under the metal heatsink
