I looked into the BIOS of my other system with different m/b and
(better) heatsink and I get the same readings (~42).  I use OCZ paste
on both systems and followed their application instructions for the
Athlon 64.  Both heatsinks are just warm to the touch.  I also see on
the net that there are tons of people with similar "problems" so I am
closing this file as "normal".  Case closed (no pun intended).  Thanks
for your support.
