Machine Runs hot? I'm not even overclocking, what should I do?

[nbaj2k]

I built my E6600 machine, and then finally decided to check the temperatures. My motherboard temperature is high, not sure what to do.

I have this Lian-Li

Any reccomendations on a fan to cool it down? I was thinking about this Zalman

Will that help my motherboard Temperature, or just the CPU. The CPU is running at a cool 38 degrees celsius, while my motherboard is in the 50s.

Thanks!

just get an intake and exhaust. your chipset temps are just a bit high but you dont need to buy a heatsink and your cpu is fine too

The sensors aren't always the most reliable, so it may be off. If you've got good ventilation, and aren't seeing any problems, I wouldn't worry about it.

I believe there is an intake and exhaust on the front of my case it looks like. Should I not worry about it and be all set? For the CPU to be very cool, it seems weird that the motherboard would be so hot.
