Hey there
I just bought EP45C-DS3R and the box's seal was broken!
But the distributor and the company person told its the only piece available in north india, and they gave me bill and all that and warranty assurance too
I built the system with Q8200, 2x2GB Kingston 1.8V 800MHz Ram, Corsair Vx450, Palit HD4850
my CPU starts at 49C reaches till 75C in 30-60seconds with prime 100% load
Then I reseated the CPU its now 45C and reaches somewhere 65C with 5 min of prime
and after 1 Hr of Crysis it 57C
is it normal on stock cooling
Problem No.2
My Northbridge
Its 41C even in open case
and when I touch the heatsink It its actually too hot to touch for more than 20-30 seconds
Also the heatsink of north bridge is loose I guess
when I push from one side it lowers a bit
I checked the pin's which holds it they are visible on back of MB about 2-3 mm
Please do help
its a new board I dont want to damage it and reduce its life thanks
