ok guys, i just joined the club!
had my r3e laying around some days now, mem arrived today. so i just dropped in a x5570 (had nothing else at hand right now) with an old 775 cpu cooler, my 6GB gt kit and an old PCI (yes pci) vga card. so no pcix cards and no hd's connected right now.
at first power up cpu temps rose quick so i powercycled the system after a few minutes. at next power up cpu temps stayed just above 40C but i could watch ioh temps rising. took about 10 minutes until the ioh reached 100C and the board switched off!
running bios 0704.
chipset heatsink is pretty hot, so i guess contact is not that bad.
anyway, anybody seen this before?
