    That may be your whole problem - Speedfan is very erratic; I haven't had a board yet that worked with it properly. Try Real Temp for accuracy, or my favorite, HWiNFO64, which reads an amazing amount of information and supports the latest hardware. In HWiNFO64 the digital sensors embedded in the CPU typically read 20c hotter than the CPU reading (of the motherboard sensor under the CPU), but I assume the digital sensors are more accurate regarding the actual core temps (so base your cooling solution on the hotter digital sensor).

    That's pretty funny, 'cause when I started reading this post and saw how high the temps were, the first thing I thought was that it sounds like the plastic protector for the base wasn't removed. But then I thought, nobody has ever actually done that, have they? I mean, it says in large print REMOVE THIS PLASTIC PROTECTOR BEFORE INSTALLING and also mentions it in the instructions a couple of times. Now I'd be wondering what else was installed incorrectly...
