Can a different BIOS version and board show a ten degree hotter CPU temp?

It has to be the board or the BIOS because i just took the motherboard out and reseated the HSF and even did the flashlight trick to see if there were gaps and it was flat as a table again. I'm using a OCZ Gladiator w/delta as well which is what is bumming me out.

Why Do People Not OC?

I unlocked my 1 gig T-Bird just so i had the option to overclock it down the road if i wanted to. I tried as a test 1.1 gig at stock voltage and it was rock solid stable for three days. I put it back to stock speed because it's fast enough for me for what i run. Bottom line, if you want a nice...

Try out a program called adaware 4.0 it will scan your system including the registry for spyware and give you the option do ace it. It lists all of the files for you before you delete them.
