I went on my new comps system monitor and checked temps

680i mobo
8800GTs
2gbs of ram
intel core 2 e6600 2.40ghz

CPU 44'C/111'F
Board 32'C/90'F
MCP 72'C/162'F

this is after playing for a few hours maybe 2 and 30 mins

are these temps good?

this part gets the hottest

thats normal if you are using a stock heatsink that come with your CPU.

those temps look fine with me. the chipset temp is on the warm side but thats normal with a passively cooled chipset such as yours. if youre worried about the temp you can get the optional cooling fan for your motherboard.
 
i just want to know if my comp will be fine and wont crash or die from overheating.
 
Just out of curiosity.... is your motherboard mounted in your case right side up (CPU at top) or do you have it in one of those cases that lets you mount it upside down (CPU at the bottom).

I know there's been much debate on heatpipes and orientation.... and I think the general concensus is that it doesn't matter which way it's mounted... but I'm not so sure.

As others have said... put a fan to blow over that area to cool it off... or re-do your case wire management/or fan positioning to get better case air flow.
