Well, that's funny. The temperature in my living room is a reasonable 23.6° centigrade. Is it really that unlikely the chip has the zero execution bit? Just so we're straight here, you're talking about a feature that prevents certain memory pages from being executed, right? I'm using the Intel P4 530, which has a MB of L2 cache. Asus probe really does report the processor at 25° right now so I hope there's some explanation to this. Again, I don't like it when things don't work properly...
