ChipSet temperature too high?

I think it could be that my video card is right above the chipset on the DFI ultra-D board...
 
Your chipset voltage is too high, thats why. The NF4 chipset is normally good for 300+ HTT even with 1.5 volts, theres no way yours needs 1.77v. Go into your BIOS and lower it, and those temps should drop down nicely.
 
I used to hit 51 on my NB until I added an extra case fan up front... one of my video cards crowds the NB too and that probably contributed.
 
I would have to check voltage, but there is no reason to be above stock. 51c on chipset is acceptable with a 7800 near-by.
 
umm thats not stock voltage for the chipset , should b 1.5

the 7800gt stock cooler also vents the hot air directly on top of the chipset which also causes the chipset fan to spin hard and scream like a banshee
 
I recommend taking the stock plastic casing around the 7800's hs off and throwing a 80mm fan over it. I did that, attached with a zip-tie, some like to screw into hs. Cools 7800 big time and keeps it from blowing hot air directly over chipset.
