My friend has the following rig:
FX-8320
M5A99FX PRO R2.0
2x4 8GB 1866MHz Corsair Vengeance CL9
ASUS GTX 660 2 2GB O.C.
Corsair 750WTM + 80
Akasa Venom Cooler
And here is a picture of the motherboard (he argues) that gets extremely hot when he plays games. He is running 1920x1080, usually high settings, filters turned off. He says that the parts outlined below (in red) gets really hot and he can't even touch it. However, the ASUS All Suite program reports the MB as around 40c. BTW, he has updated the bios.
Any ideas why this is happening? How accurate is the 40c from the ASUS program? Any ideas to prevent this from happening?
Thanks.
