I'm seeing no problems here (Abit KN8, PhoenixBIOS), though I do have the BIOS configured not to monitor the temperature, which is probably important; I've not checked.

(Yes, I know, cooked CPU due to fan failure. But then I expect that the CPU will shut itself down anyway without help from the BIOS before there's too much of a problem.) -- | Darren Salt | linux at youmustbejoking | nr.
