ECS NF3-A939-AMD 64 3500 Issues

I am having 2 issues with this board.

1) The motherboard bios reports that my brand new AMD 64 3500 is running at
55C-65C and thats on bootup , I hit my power button and immediately go into
the bios and it already says 53C or more and for the rest of the time the pc
is on it go's back and forth between 55 and 65. The voltage is correct and I
am using the latest bios on the ECS website.

2) When looking at the bios settings , the HT multiplyer only go's up to 4 ,
leaving me at 800 HT speed ( 1600 effective ). Shouldn't this chip be
running at 1000 ( 2000 effective )? If so , how can I get that multiplyer to
have a 5 setting? The cpu is a version DH-E6 Venice core , steeping 2. I
appreciate any answers , tech supports email reply was very poor.

Guess I am the only one who has this crap board , oh well I should have
known better.
