After a few minutes of turning my PC on, there's a part of my motherboard which is getting really really hot, I have no idea why this is happening and also if it's normal or it's an issue with my motherboard.

The part of my motherboard which is getting really hot is this: http://prntscr.com/cnpmcx

I'm not that experienced with motherboards so that's why I'm asking here, thanks.
 
Solution
it is completelly normal for that part to get hot - that's why it has heatsink on it.
When you will game (or any other CPU intensive task), the part above the CPU with the "ultra durable" label on heatsink will get hot too :)


Oh great, thanks for the info :)
