Is it normal for this board to have IOH Temps from 70 when doing absolutely nothing?!

Should I take the Chipset cooler of and re-apply a new layer of artic silver 5 instead of the Factory compound?

or just rma the board?

I also installed the optional little cooling block with the fan but it doesn't help....

Remove original thermal past from heat sink & re-apply good thermal compound.
My REX3 had same problem before re-applying Scythe "Thermal Elixer".
Chipset & heat sink had good contact, perhaps your mobo temp will go down as normal.

After re-apply good thermal compound, temps does not change, just RMA.
