I just finished installing my 2nd RE after the first one died on me. Everything seems to be working ok with my QX9770 but my NB and SB temps are very high for stock speeds (both at 50c). I'm using all air-cooling nad replaced the fusion block with the bundled NB heatsink. I also swapped out the mosfet stock heatsink with the bigger one. Pc Probe is giving me good temps for the power but NB and SB are always hovering around 50c even when the PC is idle.

Does anyone know how this can be fixed? I took off the stock TIM and am using AS5 now. I'm assuming the stock mobo heatsink array is not making good contact though. Sadly, my first RE had good temps right out of the box with both NB and SB around 36c idle.
