No not more than would be expected, runs at 36 - 40 deg according to bios

I said full size but it reports 196.something, sorry cant check as I nuked
my bios             when flashing it to latest bios, asus forgot to mention
that there flash facilty nukes bios     when upgrading from certain bios
versions.
