I have a 920 that is like that (running 10c higher than everyone else) and bascially there are 2 options, RMA it or attempt to fix it yourself.

Personally if I were in your position I would take the RMA route.
I was afraid of something like that
man that really sucks too because it's a 0530 TPMW and there's no way I could get another one of these

I'll probably be coming back to Intel as soon as the Asus P5WDG2-WS is available
