Gigabyte X58A-UDR3 North Bridge too hot? [SOLVED]

[Ice]

Hey guys,

I'm fairly new to building CustoMacs.
I got the following setup:

Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R, Intel X58, LGA1366, SLI, CFX
Intel Core i7 960 BOX, 3.20GHz, LGA 1366, 4C/8T
Kingston HyperX, 3x4GB, DDR3-1600, [email protected]
Noctua CPU-Cooler NH-D14
Sapphire HD 5850 1GB, PCI-E x16 2.0, DP, HDMI
Lian Li PC-8NB Midi-Tower - black
be quiet! STRAIGHT POWER, E8 CM 680W 80plus

I noticed that the Northbridge Cooler gets extremely hot. BIOS shows MCH temperature way above 60 degrees. CPU temperature is under 40 degrees.
Is this normal? Any experience?
I have 3 additional system fans integrated into my case, so I really don't understand why the chipset gets that hot?
Just tried to install OSX and at about 30% the system just rebooted. Damn.
I think I might have received a damaged board.
What do you guys think? Should I bring it back tomorrow?
Thx.

Cheers,

Ice

This Topic can be deleted. I just found prove that my mainboard was definitely reowned. There are pen written notes on one page in the manual....
Unbelievable....
Now I am absolutely certain there's something wrong with this board and will have it replaced immediately.

Cheers,
