Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

This makes me think that your cooler wasn't mounted properly on the original board. Coretemp should be reading the temp straight from the die so I don't think the change in motherboard should make a difference. I know with the stock cooler I had a hard time getting it mounted well.
