K8N Neo2 Platinum + Zalman CNPS7000B-AlCu

I recently upgraded to BIOS v. 1.8 on my K8N Neo2, and now I'm idling around 27-29 deg. C whereas I was idling between 35-38 with the previous BIOS (v. 1.5). What's more, MSI's support site says v. 1.8 "BIOS reported incorrect CPU temperature." Does my current temp range sound reasonable? FYI, I haven't changed the fan speed on the CNPS7000B-AlCu, and I've been using nTune 2.05.09.08 and the BIOS to monitor temps.

System:
AMD Athlon64 3200+ (Winchester OC'd to 2.2GHz) + Zalman CNPS7000B-AlCu
1GB OCZ DDR466 Rev. 3 (2.5, 4, 4, 10 @ 220MHz)
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum (BIOS v. 1.8, Unified Driver 5.10)
eVGA Geforce 6600 GT (Zalman VF700-AlCu)
21" Sony CPD-E540/B Trinitron
single WD 36.7GB Raptor
Sony DDU1612 DVD-ROM
Sony 3.5" FDD
Antec NeoPower 480W PSU
Lian-Li PC-V1000
 
maybe it actually fixed the temp reporting?

what are your room temps like?

I was unaware of this bios, going to try it out now.
 
Maybe you just have good cooling... will you post your load temps so we can see if the temps are borked?
 
Yeah, I did the same thing (see sig) and I'm sure it's underreporting. I was running a 3000+ OCd to 2.4 GHz stable on BIOS 1.41 and it was always in the range of 39-42C idle. So they had fixed it but sure enough, managed to screw it up again. Code management, anyone?
