Speaking of rev 2.0 of this board:
In its initial bios revisions many people reported high temperatures. Then a bios in 14 they "fixed the temperature too high issue" so it reads about 8-10C lower. In bios 17 again they "calibrate" the cpu temperature which reads approximately what the original one did, which seems higher than the other nForce2 boards available. Is this a more accurate temperature reading as being closer to the actual core temperature? Under a prime95 load my Barton @ 2.2, 1.85v is hitting over 60C in a 73F room with decent case cooling, an Alpha 8045 and a ~30cfm sunon.
