the caps powering the northbridge crap out and the ripple casues the northbridge to overheat. you can change out the caps, but the northbridge is never the same again.
sometimes you can find a decent replacement on ebay used. look for an Asus A7NBX-VM. it's a little better designed and lasts much longer than the ECS board. NOTE: you will have to modify the IO board mounting plate to clear the power connector because it's in a weird place on the board.
if you really feel like going crazy with changing the boards for something MUCH better, find some used intel D945GCLF (or GCLF2) you'll need to find a way to mount everything in there because this board is an ITX board not ATX. this is the newest board that was used in the RX machines. as such, you will have to run at least ION system version 2009 or later. for the board to work.

Will the 2009 key work on a 2009.5 build?

Yep. I knew I wasn't crazy. I was trying to remove the cam before I had a CPU key.
The trick here is that the bottom half doesn't come out and you have to replace the tumbler set. Good stuff.
