Wow. You are good. It is an ASUS mobo wit intel chipset.

I do not know about inductors temprature since they come behind my waterblock. The near by caps 'do' get hot.

Asus already has mounted a small heatsink over these regulators and it gets fairly hot without overclocking. They used AC 3 paste, i removed it and used Arctic Silver 5. I cannot mount a bigger Heatsink as there is no room. I also cannot mount a fan over it for same reason.

Currently my rig is running idle 42C, casing temp 35C with fan running at 5V. Both caps and the heatsink over regulators are fairly hot.

Besides that RAMs also get warm (the heat spreaders actually). Processor fan used to keep them cool as well.
