PC temps
I am kind of curious on these temps...
could some one shine some light on them, as I think these are a little high, but then again the only thing I hear from my pc is the video card (radeon 5870).
all these temps are at semi load, as I am running folding in the background (gpu edition)
thanks in advance

Realtemp from techpowerup.com is prolly the most accurate program for reading off the i7's thermal diodes. Like others, I would recommend checking what realtemp says about your temps.
Looking at the temps from CPUID, they are good to me. Though it's not recommended, i7's are designed to work up to 100C, after which they start throttling. As a point of reference, my i7-920 gets to about 80C during artificially heavy load (8 threads Prime95) and is about 45C idle. This is with a Scythe Mugen 2. Under idle, the fan spins at about 650-700rpm, and under load it's at full speed.

Most Asus MBs come with program called PC Probe. I would install that and see if the NB & SB temps read the same. One quick & dirty test for the NB & SB temps is to place your finger on the HS. If you can't keep your finger on it for more than a moment it really is 70 ºC.
I just checked in the Intel X58 Express Chipset, Thermal and Mechanical Design Guide (http://www.intel.com/Assets/PDF/designguide/320840.pdf), and Tcase Max is 100 ºC. So you can stop running science fair experiments or worrying.
