Check cooler is making FULL contact with CPU. Check retaining screws for
mounting frame are FULLY engaged so that they do not foul on HS. If you
remove HS is the compound completely even and thin layer? Update the BIOS,
may be a problem reporting temp on Prescott. Does the HS feel like 65C? If
not, wip off HS after shutdown and feel the CPU, if not hot, is misreading
sensor, if hot, is poor contact on HS.
