Good guess! Yes, it's a AMD760 chipset. The mobo even has a little
fan on one of it's chips (probably the AMD760, I'd guess).
I'm probably not going to be able to lower the board temp much more
since the PC has a Antec SX1040 case with 3 case fans plus the power
supply fan, and it's in my basement. Well, maybe I'll fire up the
optional 4th case fan . . . :-)
