Temp 1: 32 C to 33 C Max since reboot 38 C
Temp 3: 28 C to 48 C Max since reboot 56 C

Additionally, the temperatures are constantly spiking. They will find a
baseline level that might be only a few degrees above the minimum, but
every few seconds the spike up anywhere from 2 to 5 degrees. The chart
is just littered with these spikes. Right now, even with the side of
the case completely off for the past hour the temperatures are closer to
the upper end of the range than to the lower end.
Should I get myself a case fan, or two. The side vent seems to be drilled to take two 120mm fans and the back can take a single 80mm fan. Or should I be looking straight to a new motherboard? I would rather not have to go through that, again, so soon. I don't remember just when I bought this one, but I don't think that is was more than a year, or two. I remember having trouble with the new memory sticks when I got the board. And, of course, a new board almost certainly means a new processor, and the costs just keep rising...
