Dave,
Well--I ended up replacing the motherboard. I did not try
re-installing the HSF on the original board.
I think I used twice as much Arctic Silver than specified, but now the
the idle temp is about 32 C and full load is about 53 C, ambient is 70
F. This looks too low to me but I don't know what sensor is doing
what.
These temps appear in BIOS and in USDM. I'll assume a socket sensor is
producing this data so add 10 deg C resulting in 42 and 63 which
sounds about right.
The HSF feels about the same as it did on the old board and the arctic
silver splotch from the original install looked ok, so I'm going to
guess that I never actually had an over-temp condition.
Anyway--prob solved, even though the origins are not 100% known.
I was more worried about this thing functioning properly than I was
about analysis.
