Yeah you can see in the picture, it looks like the NB heatsink is pushed down. Need a different CPU cooler.

It isnt pushed down, but the cooler is bearing right against the fins. I'll pop over to Evga's forum and make inquiries.

It shouldn't if that massive heatsink is mounted properly. (I had the 760 also iirc) It was teh coolest running NB i had used on x58.

I'll have to get some reply from Evga to know what the temp range should be...no idea if it is reading Farenhieht or Celcius.
EDIT: Yep, it's Celsius. Appears something is wacked...maybe the hsf is pushing against the NB fins and it is losing good contact. I shut it down and guess I will need to take this apart to determine the problem for sure.

Nope, I had several of those boards and the NB NEVER ran that hot 
I'd guess the big air cooler is nudging the NB HS at a slight angle just enough to break contact. Water cool the board and your problems are over dude
or downsize your CPU cooler

Once again, there is no longer any contact. It is what it is for whatever reason. No, I will not be watercooling anything in this pc lol....if it can't run on it's own it will burn the frick up on it's own.

Tried Everest Kal, but no NB temp monitoring there either. I've asked Evga if temps of 55 degrees were normal after running a benchmark...awaiting a reply.
EDIT: Evga says that sounds about normal...also say they know of no software to monitor NB temps either...as long as under 100 degrees it's good to go.

IIRC some of the boards arrived with a slight bend in the NB. PITA but I'm sure upon inspection you can correct any deformity.
