My current config is in the Signature. My PCH temp is 56 degrees right from the moment i start my PC. Is this normal? I have 2 fans at the moment 1 in rear for exhaust and 1 in front for intake. If this isnt normal then what can be done to lower it? Motherboard temperature hovers around 41 degrees and CPU temp never goes above 70, usually its around 40 in idle and 60-65 in load. I haven't overclocked it yet. Still have to buy an aftermarket HSF but this PCH temperature is nagging me.

The temps dont look alarmingly high(considering its summer). if you can check the processor fan for accumalated dust and also the heatsink.
