The motherboard is working great but I guess the temperature sensor has gone haywire, can't remember if it was already bad or if this had anything to do with it.

Reboot and check if the problem persists. My boards always fail to report the Mono temp on first boot. It works fine on second boot.

Regarding the epa connector:
I usually keep one pin of the coil soldered to the board and just solder the eps to it. That way the low pass filter (coil and primary caps) stays intact and your eps is more or less secured.

Yeah I ended up adding a cmos battery and the sensor now seems to work fine.
And I've also ended up resoldering the coil because of the filtering, the mosfets are already working overtime at 12V so the extra filtering will help them.

I don't like nforce chipsets and it's not really a very good motherboard tbh, but it was still kinda fun to mod it to work with modern PSUs.
