Mine runs in the 30's.
I replaced the small removable sink on mine right off the bat with the meatier one and removed their laughable little token fan - I use high CFM ultrakazes and tornadoes in that area, depending on what will fit.
I bet yours has crappy TIM job on the NB itself. Sounds like you just took off the small NB sink. I'd suggest removing the whole heatsink complex that includes the SB and the mosfets and checking the TIM. I saw one picture of a guy with his new R3E that only had TIM contact on half his NB and SB to the heatsink apparatus.
