Which Temps?

[CallMeMysterious]

I've been looking into my computer temps, and I'm not sure if what I see should be worrying. 

I've used Asus AISuite and Open Hardware Monitor, and both are reporting different CPU temps. I did look into it, and it seems as if AISuite is displaying my motherboard chipset temps. 

Which leads to the question(s); Should I worry about my motherboard temps and if so, what's in the range of acceptability or my CPU temps (well duh, I should worry about that, but I mean my CPU is always like 20 degrees Celsius lower than the mobo temps)

any help appreciated.

I don't mean to sound like an idiot here, which matters more? Aside from the fact that if my CPU temps get too high, you know, it'll melt, but I mean like are those normal

Motherboard temperature to me is fairly important. To me, a safe mobo temp is from 15 degrees Celsius, up to about 80 degrees Celsius. And for a CPU 0-100 degrees Celsius. However, try to keep it below the 90's for the CPU if you can. I wouldn't worry too much about mobo temp unless it gets high.

26 C is very cool for a CPU, around 80 to 85 C is when you start to worry.

31 is pretty average for a mobo

That's completely normal on AMD cpus, AMD recommends 61c as max temp, in my eyes though anything under 65c on core temps is fine. You are probably idling around 28c, not the 12c HWmonitor is showing.
