mine gets up to 64C. This is accurate by speed fan because it is very very hot when I touch it and the only thing on the board that is hot, so I know its the chip.
i was wondering how hot can this thing get and why is it so hot? I have good air flow in my PC and on my socket 775 build(quad core at 4.0 with about 1.26 volts through the north bridge never got this hot) but my x58 board goes WAY beyond what I think is normal.
What board do you recomend me to get instead? I would like it to be SATA 3 and USB 3 ready. I have 2 days to issue a return and would this be better? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128422
