Ga-X58a-Udr3 rev 1.0
Mother board new and set up ran at 42c now after some months of work after the days work its beginning to get hot and reports 52c and fan speed is increased. other than generally the air ducts of the stock cooler getting blocked with dust & fluff is there anything to worry about?
is the sort of temp ok.?
CPU is I7-930.

It is possible that it just needs a good blow out from some high pressure air if you can. The PSU, CPU and GPU fans are usually the worst ones. Don't forget the ambient temperature in the room could be higher now as everyone has heating on etc. 52 degrees isn't a problem as such but obviously it could be an indicator of dirty fans or whatever.

What is this temperature? CPU core? MB temp?
The Core i7 930 can run perfectly fine up to 100C, although I wouldn't feel too comfortable if it started hitting 80C. This is when under full load, not sure if your temperature is idle or partially loaded or?
Realtemp and coretemp are good monitoring programs, they can monitor each core's temperature for your processor :)
It is a good idea to clean the clase fairly regularly, to prevent any major build up of dust. You will also benefit from it being quieter :D
