That's pretty normal.4 dimms put a heavier load at the north bridge.I
also have the same board and noticed the same temp rising.Don't forget
that by design the deluxe model is showing greater temperatures--the
temp sensor is close to the cpu socket at the rear side of the board if
i remember correctly--than other models in the p5k range.I have side by
side 2 similar systems(same case/psu,p5k deluxe-p5k premium,2
E8500@3.8Ghz,same ventilation and of course same ambient temps.Well the
deluxe is showing right now with 26C ambient temp 37C and the premium 33C.
