mc2k: I know this sounds crazy but if you are using a good air cooler like your Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme then you don't need to worry about temperatures. With that cooler properly installed, even with 1.5 volts, and with whatever MHz you get up to, you're still not going to be close to the thermal throttling point so don't worry about temps. It sounds like your thermal sensors have the stuck at a fixed value bug but at least once your processor starts warming up they seem to be working. If your processor ever catches on fire and blows up at least you'll have a good excuse for Intel to buy you a new one.
