If anyone is interested, I updated the GA-EP45T-USB3P rev 1.0 F2 BIOS with the latest Intel OROM 12.5.0.1815. and I'm testing it with RST 12.5.0.1066. After one day of testing, boots and sleeps fine. C1E and EIST was enabled in the BIOS but was inactive in windows till I physically performed a CLEAR BIOS on the MB, loaded the optimal defaults in the BIOS, and changed VCORE in the MIT from AUTO to NORMAL. CPU temperatures dropped from 49C to 33C with the core voltage idling at 1.1V vs the 1.34V
