My computer is running at 70 degrees C idle! (not really let me explain) I keep getting the infamous ABIT 2 toned siren because my temp sensor is reading between 70-80 degrees celcius. When I touch the heat sink, it warm, but not anywhere close to 70 degrees. I have re-seated the heatsink and re-aaplied thermal grease but to no avail. I am running the most current BIOS version. Are there any other things that would make the temp sensor think that its running about 40 degrees too hot? Its a AMD 64 280+ on an ABIT KV8 PRO board.
