nope, CPU/Mobo temps not wrong way round unless Asus Probe software is faulty.
Airflow may be a prob tho, so is it better to shove air into the system or vent it?

Both.  If you only shive air in then you OC blows up like a balloon
If you only extract air then your PC will suck  
Balance the air in with air out, that way you get a good flow.

Your temp readings are totally bolloxed and wrong.  Either software or hardware, doesn;t matter which, they are wrong.  Simple logic dictates that something must be wrong.  Otherwise your expensive HSF will simply be heating your CPU as ambient temperature is higher than the CPU core............

Yup, PSU normally blows air out so having a fan to suck air in will help things tremendously.

IMPORTANT!

The placing of the fan sucking in is important. Do not put it next to the PSU as you will just circulate air in one corner of the box. You are best having the in fan diagonally opposite the out fan so that you get maximum airflow across the box without creating "eddies".

Too late.  You're an Eddie.

58 0c i ment and me thinks its so high because the psu has a 120mm fan right next to the chip so maybe some sort of exhaust pipe inclosing the cpu to the case exterior?

im in the process of of updating my bios.  It seems to be reporting lower temps now, which also make more sense.

so you could try flashing your bios.

(a side note is that my onboard ethernet card has come to life after the flash  woot )

Well, i installed Mobo Monitor on Tealeaf's link and even tho i selected correct board etc, the monitoring went fubar.
I then uninstalled it, installed latest version of Asus Probe and it is now displaying the monitoring of CPU/Mobo temps to show what TL suspected i.e. CPU temp is now higher than mobo temp which makes sense.

I have also reversed a chassis fan so one is blowing in, the other blowing out.
CPU temp seems to be OK for now.

I also keep a window open during gameplay.  Sux during rainy season
