A64 on K8n = HOT!

[Pasadena]

Well i just put together an A64 in a msi K8n, and well im gettin crazy temps from the BIOS, if i start it up in the morning, ill jump into the BIOS and check out the readings and the CPU reads 57c then it will jump to 61c and back. Ive reseatted the Heatsink/fan many times, added some AS3, and still. Seems like a BIOS error. Im using the stock heatsink/fan combo. The heatsink dosent seem warm at all when at 61c, but it does get hot after a half hour of CS, it was at 73c after i stopped playing, but it wasnt too hot to touch, weird. Is anyone else gettin these weird readings??
