OK, here's the scoop (again):
I was getting load temps of 42° all last week. I shut down the PC for the weekend (out of town). Tonight, I was up to a load of 46°C. I did a restart and now I'm folding away at 42°C again...however, my water temp is up to 29°C, so that is something I'll have to look into, but room temps are at 24°C...
