That really doesn't sound good to me, but I don't really have enough 
experience of system building to do more than guess at the cause.  I 
would strongly suspect the heatsink/processor bond but couldn't be 
sure.  I have no idea if the actually monitoring chip could be faulty, 
for example, or if it could be a BIOS problem (problems related to bad 
temperature readings certainly *can* exist but fluctuating temps is a 
bit different).  If no-one here can help, maybe try an overclockers 
forum - just because there tends to be a lot of system building 
experience there.  Maybe ASUS support would help (but I wouldn't hold my 
breath).

As I said, I went for arctic silver with my heatsink, but I got to apply 
it to clean components and it gets a bit harder if you have to clean the 
thermal paste off.  They do a cleaner as well and had pretty good 
instructions on their website when I last looked.
