Anyone pick one of these up yet? Any problems with the northbridge getting too hot?

I'm thinking of replacing my 650i with one of these (plus 4Gigs of ram, 2 GTX 260's SLI'd, replacing my current CPU cooler with a Tuniq Tower 120, and a nice Corsair power supply). I had just read somewhere that there were some issues with the northbridge getting too hot. My case has decent air flow, but not the greatest (planning to mod a fan into the side window and the top but no time right now).
 
Considering that board uses same cooling as other reference 780i boards, it's probably hot.
