    Have you tried using the Intel Utilities Program? It's on the motherboard CD. It's a little accurate than the BIOS as far as reading temps.

    A friend has the Bad Axe. He used a thermal probe to determine the truth. BIOS read 60C. Utilities program read 45C. Probe read 30-35C.

    I also had a Bad Axe. Temps in BIOS were always very high. I just ignored them.

    If you have a probe, you should test and see what results you get. My friend was getting high readings in the BIOS and decided to check for himself.
