What is typical mobo temperature?

[MxM]

Hi,

I have Asus 5PW DH Deluxe mobo, and in about one hour the temperature of mobo, as it read by mobo itself (say restart and go to BIOS setup) reads 55C. Is it typical or do I have a problem here?

Thanks.

PS. I do not overclock it (yet).

I think I figured out what is going on. The temperature senor for the mobo I have is very close to the video card which is 8800GTX. The card itself is hot, and it heats the sensor, I think directly through radiation, not air convection (I can feel the heat of the video card by my hand). I have overclocked my processor by 30% (2.4GHz->3.12GHz) without changing FSB😀RAM ratio (3:4 in my case) and the temperature did not change. More over, if I open the side of the case and blow the air by fan into any region of the board, the temperature changes by 1 or 2C. So I am quite sure that it is just thermal radiation from the 8800GTX.
