P5N32-E SLI overheating NB

Hi
I finished yesterday assembling my new computer, and When I tried to verify if everything work as expected I found via Everest that the MCP North Bridge: nVIDIA nForce 680i SLI (C55XE) is overheating, it's temparature go up to 100C, first i thought that it's due to software bug reporting the right temperature, but when I touched the heatpipe, it harmed my finger and this at factory default settings (No Overclocking)
I don't think that the thermal grease will be a solution since the heat sink is already hot which mean it get all the heat from the chipset.
I tried bios upgrade but nothing changed, it seemed to be even worse, I'm trying to downgrade it now.
does someone has the same motherboard, what's the temperature of the MCP ??? what are the expert advices, other than installing some third party fan + Hs.
Thanks.
