i had same problem with msi pro-e
when i asked pc technician they said its normal and msi boards get hot
well not good enough for me i decided to make a test.
basiclly i got cheap case and the graphic card set on 1st pci i lowered it to the 3rd pci which made more space for the northen bridge get air. moreover i took old cpu fan and wired on the Heat sink of the northen bridge temp decreased from 86c to 46c.
now i am looking for a bit quiter fan that can sit on the hub normally
