Bit of a long shot but have you tried yo put sheet metal over the north bridge and crack an egg on top..... What happens

lol 10 reps for you!

excellent idea, cook them while running crysis 3, should generate enough heat. have a full on bbq for the family, eggs, bacon, sausages xD.

seriously though thats not a bad idea considering im adventurous :P

I get nb temps of around 45-49 degrees on my Gigabyte GA X58A UD7 mobo . The UD7 at the time of buying being the flagship motherboard of gigabyte came with hybrid silent pipe cooling . I guess is it that keeping the temperature lower in my case .
Hybrid Silent-Pipe module is an additional heatsink unit that attaches to the water-block northbridge cooler in order to maximize air cooling.
I have some pictures of it

Nostaw5 have you gotten any word from Gigabyte if that the board is defective or not ?

Or even better yet a RMA ?
