New Off hand, that seems to be pretty cool for a processor.
So, I would call it a false alarm.

The Athlon on my Windows machine is running at 158 degress F (70 degrees C). Now that's on the hot side.

New It's not the Processor Temperature :)
we have a Pentium 4, and the Processor Zone gauge for it says 100. It's fine. :) Both fan gauges are running fine also, oddly enough.

It's Zone 2 on the motherboard that's overheating. We just aren't sure how to figure out what sector of the Mother Board is Zone 2. But we think it's near the memory since type of memory affects what the acceptable temperature is in that zone.

I'm paraphrasing, because it's easier than research.
