What hardware monitoring software are you using?

CPUID HWMonitor.

The temp sensors sometimes go haywire and I think that's the case with you.
real temp
make sure you are looking at CPU core (CORE 0, CORE1, CORE2, CORE3)
not package or socket, or whatelse.. just the core temp is what value you
need to determine cooling properties.. plus what else is necessary is ambient
temperature (room temp) because this also has an effect on whether the temp
is too hig or what-not..

Also what i think it is, when i push my fans to 12v full on molex. Then i can keep my temps down to 40c on the mobo.
So maybe i need a better case, but then i use this as a small server case to my musik and movies..
My temps in the house is 20c all the time, and after a prime95 on low speed fans the hottes cpu hits 75c and whit high fan speed it hits 61c and that is whitout the 20c taken from the stats..

From my understanding Gene boards from ASUS naturally get hotter than other boards particularly because they are the same VERY high performance board as a standard ATX just in a smaller form factor. 50c may still be a little hot but it is not uncommon under load.
PS I use the Maximus Gene z gen 3 board.

puzzled?? why would they run hotter? the form factor shouldnt
matter, unless it is under cooled on the FETS or less phase power
than the mvf or mve. its justnarrower by .5" v (formula) or 1.1"
(v extreme) than the EATX boards. but the socket spacing looks
identical.. and the FETS cooler isnt as dense.
dunna know if its air or water-cooled? ivy or sandy? stock fan
cooler? lots of unanswered questions... so i cannot render an
opinion on what or where the temperaure issue maybe or what can
be done to circumvent it..

Look at the boards closer. Or at least look at the back of them. The chips are closer together than on a standard atx. Not to mention the lack of a heat pipe to transfer heat to other exchangers. Not to mention the bottom heat sink is smaller.
Also I have used multiple high performance micro ATX boards including the Assassin micro atx, and they have always shown to be hotter than the standard ATX variant.

Wow, we almost have the same rig.
My ASUS Maximus IV Gene z Gen 3 is at 54c on full load while my CPU is only at 65c full load prime test at 4.6ghz 2500k. I have been running this for almost a year now and NEVER had an issue.

What cooler a you useing ?..

H100 for CPU, and my case is a Cooler master trooper

The H100 is really irrelevant here. Granted an air cooled CPU can blow some air on the heat exchangers it wont do much. But the laws of physics cannot be avoided here. The Maximus Gene series is a no comprise Micro ATX board. Most Micro boards skimp on features to avoid these problems. We have VERY high end chips on the board which are, close together and no heat pipes to move heat to other exchangers. Thus creating a higher temp. But my mobo temps hoovers higher than yours and it's been like that for almost a year.
Look at the heat exchangers on standard ATX equivalently specked boards. They generally have either more exchangers or larger ones, Not to mention again, the chips are further apart AND with a heat pipe.
I am not saying this is an excuse for this high temp, nor am I saying this is 100% of the cause. But is seems likely, and considering I have never had an issue and have tested other high performance micro boards yielding the same results. And all of my other standard atx boards have lower temps in the same conditions.

After a long talk with komplett support, I got the info that my motherboard. Came from an old RMA case, with the same problems as it has now. Has been automatically offered to choose between all their 1155 socket motherboard.
So what would say I have to choose between these motherboards:
And selected the motherboard which appeals to me most.
MSI Z77 MPower, Socket-1155
MSI Z77A-GD80, Socket-1155
Asus Sabertooth Z77, Socket-1155
Asus R8Z77-V Deluxe, Socket-1155
At the same time, would I also take Corsair 600T in white as my case.
