Your board is fine
Trust me, they are fine. The heatsinks on my 890FX board are basically the same and they are suprisingly efficient. NB temps on load are 40cTruth be known, manufacturers know they use crap TIM and do a sh|t job when it comes to choosing the mounting of the mobo cooling. I've never come across a manufacturer yet thats not RMAd something because I took the cooling off and done a proper job of it. Eitherway, doesn't effect you now I guess as you got a new mobo incomingand the heatsinks are very warm (they are transferring heat).

Recieved my Crosshair on saturday - needless to say I was highly dissapointed! It screeches just the same as my M4A89GTD!
A)- Voltages are all over the place! - on stock settings vcore kept jumping around from 1.28 to 1.32 - then as high as 1.42!!! - wooot! - tried latest official BIOS from Asus (1005)- same thing.
B)- At one point the CPU VID, VDDA VID and another voltage sensor stopped working for like 5 seconds!!! - This board is highly unstable!
C)- The board (even though the supplier reckons is brand spanking new) had a hand written white label sticker on it (labelled m14 or somat!) and the mac address label looked like someones been trying to peel it off!!! lol! You'd expect more from a £160 mainboard!
D)- Lastly - i wasn't impressed by how much hotter the chipset is on a 890FX board v's a 890GX one - 5 Degrees C hotter....
Needless to say I've already arranged for a refund and am gunna stick with the M4A89GTDPro/USB3.0 - All is forgiven baby - come back to daddy!

Spoke to ASUS today and it looks like they are just waiting for a replacement board. It was DOA so I get a new board.

ASUS Repair Status now went form "WAITSWAP" to "Packing" today. Wooo Hooo! lol
Asus received my motherboard on 9/10 and a new board is on its way to me today 9/17.
7 Day turn around, not bad at all.
Looky what fedex dropped off today.
I was only expecting a motherboard and I got a brand spanking new retail box from ASUS. Good on ASUS. Now lets see if this thing fires up.

I've got no strings to hold me down.
To make me fret, or make me frown.
I had strings but now I'm free.
There are no strings on me
Yeah, I probably wouldn't have even sent it out for RMA if it wasn't for your advice in post #2. I thank you for that.Glad everything worked out, I told you ASUS is preety level headed with this stuff if user error is not an issue, Looks like you got a spare heatpipe assembly now to.
Now I'm just waiting on you to test that spare board before you send it out to me
