You are not alone. While I am no longer using this board, (see sig for details) My current board based on the same chipset gets quite hot as well. I don't think it is an Epox problem, rather a hotter running chipset than VIA. While it used to be unnecessary to actively cool VIA chips, we are learning that the NF2 chips run VERY warm and people are getting better results by actively cooling them. I just ordered my chipset cooler
