Am I getting a bad reading?

I just got my Duron 600 setup on my KT7 Raid today running at 900MHz@1.85v. The weird part is that it is showing the core idling around 99-104F. I find it hard to believe that a 600MHz chip overclocked 300MHz with .35v extra is only running at 100F? I'm using the stock heatsink/fan and it is only luke warm. Am I getting bad readings or do these chips just run cool? My case temp is around 69F with a half dozen fans.

I'm 95% sure the sensor is touching the bottom of the cpu, so I don't think that is a problem.

Thanks guys!

btw: Does the KX133chipset not get along with the MX300? I can't seem to get it working consistently. It will play my startup sound, but then later the sound doesn't work. Sometime it doesn't play the startup sound, others it does. Ideas? I'm using Win2k.
