So was feeling around for hotspots after the last crash, and burnt my finger on the heat-sink of the motherboards NVIDIA GeForce 8200 that is right under the intake of my GTX 260BA making the cooling fan less then effecint as the air around the intake is so hot!

SO, here are the questions:

1:Why is the motherboards NVIDIA GeForce 8200 getting so hot when its not the GPU im using?

2: What is MCP, as its the only thing that peeks into the high70°C's?


Here is a bunch of stuff that may help someone help me!
