1273826 2012-05-27 09:28:00 Happened again :(. I thought that replacing the PSU had fixed it, but no such luck. It did stop for a long time though. Greven (91)
1273827 2012-05-27 10:49:00 I had that happen to one MB I had and it was the bios reporting the wrong temp but saying it was overheating. mikebartnz (21)
1273828 2012-05-28 06:51:00 It seems to happen a lot less often since I replaced the PSU, so I'll live with it until I am ready to upgrade. Greven (91)

You could take the risk and disable temp warning in the BIOS or raise the temp before it does so.

I have replaced the silent heatsink & fan with the stock heatsink & fan. I have been using CPUID hardware monitor to keep an eye on temperatures & they don't spike while I'm watching. It also doesn't play the warning tune while I'm watching either - always either when I am ignoring my computer to watch TV or while I'm playing a game so can't keep an eye on the temperature.
