I apologize if this is in the wrong section or this is unwanted.

 

 

First of all, thanks for your time to visit this post!

 

I have a problem with my motherboard. I think that the temps are way too high and I'm worried it might cause problems.

 

 

Screenshots

 

Here's a screenshot of hwmonitor showing  the temperatures when I'm gaming.

Here's a screenshot at the moment I'm making this post and listening to music. (The temperature rose to 62 degrees celsius when I was almost done with this post, and I was this doing nothing intense)

Heres a picture of my case and the airflow.

Picture of cpu load when the motherboard is at 62 degrees celsius.

Some specs:
 
CPU: AMD FX-8320
GPU: Sapphire r9 290 4GB
Mobo: MSI gaming 970
 
 
I have a nzxt kraken x40 as CPU cooler.
 
I would be really thankfull If someone can tell me if I should be worried about this temperature and a solution to this. Really, any help is really, really welcome.
 
P.S, sorry for my bad english.
 
 
UPDATE
 

The VRM heatsink was designed with the idea that there would be a CPU fan blowing some air over it. I'm assuming that's the temperature that TMPIN1 is reading. It still should be fine, but remember that FX-8 core CPUs are extremely power hungry and even 8 phase VRMs can get toasty if you overclocked it a lot. I personally wouldn't be worried.

 
What if I did this? Would that screw over my air flow?

I updated the post with a solution. Would that possibly screw over my airflow?
