Heatsink is warm,nothing too extreme,northbridge heatsink on the other hand is somewhat hot .Noticably hotter than the heatsink on my CPU.

then 26 is the real temp... however your NB should have a fan placed for it...

I was thinking the same thing. I am gonna have to pick up a fan for it on payday.I really didn't want to scratch it up just incase I have to return the board or something. Oh well,gotta do what I gotta do.

I looped 3DMark2001 for roughly an hour and a half and my temps went up about 2 degrees.CPU was at about 29, board 30,case 31.

You apparently exist in the same screwy continuum as Abu's hard drive.

Do you see how odd it is that at 100% CPU usage your chip and board are cooler than case ambient?

I know it makes no sense.I just bought the board about three weeks ago so it should not be having any problems.

Well, it's certainly not personal, and he's provided screenshots showing the temps he claims so it's not like I think he's lying, but....
somethin' just ain't kosher here.

It is simply illogical to keep believing in readings that are nonsensical.With an air cooled rig, the chip ( and most likely the board also) have to be at least a few degrees warmer than the surrounding air.
Don't they?

Yes they do. There's no other way.
