Hi Experts!

I just got this board and seem alot of thing not right. First I never see any NB run hot like this one, is it normal? (about 96*C). Second I just flash the BIOS to the latest one (1402) but the BIOS didn't save any change I was make, it just run on its default. I tried to flash back to (1302) BIOS but its didn't let me. Hmm.... what should I do now to solve those problem. Many thanks for your help guys.

Is it second hand?

Sounds like the bios battery has run dry... or at least that is the normal thing that cause the bios not to save.

And the 680i northbridge is a hot one... I recommend sticking a fan over it.

Very nice Motherboard by the way!

Yes, you right it was a second hand board so if the BIOS battery run dry where can I find one to replace? Many thanks for your help.
