Is your mobo an Intel mobo with a supported hardware monitoring
chip? If not, the temps may not be accurate. IF so: 46 is
115°F, that's about the limit that I would be comfortable with
for a CPU. But something's wrong if your MOBO is showing
118°+, and something is much more seriously wrong if the other
temps are 68 (154°) and 81 (177°)!!
Feel all the components on the mobo yourself and see how hot
they feel. Try another HW monitoring program like MBM5 or
SpeedFan, but like any other your HW monitoring chip must be
supported.

There's also benchmarking software like SANDRA and AIDA32 (now
only available as "Everest" I believe) that will show you
temps.
If you finally determine those temps ARE accurate, SHUT OFF
YOUR PC. Something is wrong. Use those programs to see if all
your voltages are in spec (3.3, 5, and 12v). If any are really
high, that MIGHT be the cause. But you should NOT let the PC
run at those temps. Even if you put fans on the hot spots,
that does not fix the problem of why they are so high.

According to my Intel Desktop Utilities, the processor and
motherboard
are at 46 & 48 DG C respectively.
The I/O Controller Hub is 81 DG c, and the Memory Controller
Hub is at
68 DG C.
I wonder if the latter two readings are cause for concern?
Remedies?
TIA
