Motherboard Temperatures?

Question

What are acceptable temperatures for motherboards? I mean I have been having problems with my computer and I have reason to believe that maybe it was just the heat inside. But I don't know at what temperatures a motherboard should be at in order to be able to function properly without any errors. Can someone help me?

Answer 1

In the 30s or 40s c at idle. Mid 50s if extreme gaming. I wouldn't be concerned until it starts flirting with 60 althou Asus recommends shutting down at around 80! I like to play it cautious as i overclock everything and am very temp conscious.  

Answer 2

Well, it is hard to explain. Making sure that you have a good cooling system is important. There are programs that you can download off the internet that measure the temps of components.
