How long have you had your Quark? It is common knowledge now that the outside temp of the Quark has nothing to do with inside temp. :005:

The thermal interface of the FET's to the case is poor (at best), it could very well be thermally when the outside is only 45C yes. The thermal pad in yours could be coming loose, and getting dirt inside it (it's only touching about half the thermal pad to case).
