CPU is at 55 c

GPU 55 c

 

And hard drives around 30 c so everything else is okay.

 

But I think 62c seems a little high for the motherboard

    The motherboard isn't uniformly 62 C or any other temperature while it's turned on.  The sensor is measuring some particular point--and probably a point where there's a chip that can get relatively hot.  Still, I wouldn't worry about 62 C if that's as hot as it's getting, unless you're doing something stupid to block airflow.

    This silicon used in most computer components is rated over 90c. You should be fine as long as you have good air flow.

    I hope that is 62C under gaming load.  If it is idle, you have a problem.

    Get more airflow.  Open the case.  Point a fan at it.  Cool your room better.  Move the computer to a basement.  Any of these will help.

    Are those temps under gaming load? or idle?

    If under gaming load then I wouldnt worry too much. You may just have a sensor in a particular spot on the mobo thats reaching that temp.

     

    If those are idle temps then check the airflow in your case.

    Sounds like a question better posed to the manufacturer rather than an MMO forum.
