GA-EX58-UD4P northbridge & cooling

Has anyone experienced their boards running hot? I have the stock cpu
fan (not overclocking for now), but used a higher grade paste. Still
running high 80s for some apps, I have heard some others had problems,
but majority seemed to be fine running stock/no OC.

Is the NB heat pipe sufficient enough for cooling? Haven't seen much
discussion on it. I have a side case fan blowing right on top of it,
but wanted to know if it was worth the trouble to rip it off for
something else considering i have to install several fans to rep
everything else the heat pipe is connected too... I may OC later on.
Trying to stay away from liquid this time around.

High 80's ???
hopefully you mean celsius!!!
