I'm using a GA-7VAXP, which comes with a utility that reads the temperature off the motherboard sensor. The CPU is running 80 right now and the motherboard reads 45.

The only thing I've got tweaked on the system is the memory settings. To get it to run stably in the fastest memory mode I had to jack up the memory power one step. This increases the voltage for the memory only from 2.5 to 2.6. I've tested it both ways and this doesn't effect the CPU at all.

Heck, even on my old 1.1 Ghz Athlon I've never seen the temp go below 70 once the system is warmed up.
