| I recently built a pc but the motherboard seem to run hotter than cpu. I have a p5w dh motherboard in an thermaltake 8003 case. It run about 47C in room temperature. The cpu run at 33C. I wonder if it normal? |

| I don't know how to put this, but, I'm kind of a big deal. | Yes, that's normal. Running the same, or cooler, than your processor is normal too, it varies from system to system. For example, the board in my sig is currently running at 35C and the processor at 50C. The rig this system replaced, an Asus A8N32-SLI / 4400+ X2 combo, the motherboard ran about 10C hotter than the processor, settling in the 40s. And generally speaking, motherboards that utilize heatpipes for their chipset cooling tend to run a bit on the hot side. |
