intel mobo temperature

My mobo's bios hardware monitor says the mobo's temp. is 82 degrees. Is that right? Nothing is overclocked, and I've got a coolermaster 120mm fan at the front for blowing air in, and the same one at the back for sucking air out. The bios doesn't detect sustem fan 1 and 2, neither does speedfan. I did put a normal deskfan at the side with the side panel off yesterday, and in the bios the temp. seemed to drop. what else can I try for decent cooling exept WC?
Thanks in advance

No, the cpu is at 43 degrees, but the motherboard is at 82 degrees. It's 2 different temps. according to the bios and speedfan.

Feel the northbridge and then that will tell you if its ~80*C or not. I usually trust the bios before software, but maybe your bios is fubared? Maybe try flashing it?
The fact that it doesn't pick up your fans is also a little worrying

I'll check to see if there's a bios update available. When I put my deskfan at the side, it brings the temp down to 70, and thats where it stays.
