NF7-S New Bios2.5 Anyone noticing higher reported temps?

Hi, my temp alarms have started going off occasionally after installing the
2.5 v2 NF7-S bios (as well as winxp SP2).

This never happened before today (and today's ambient is fairly cool). I do
have cpu disconnect enabled, and all other settings are identical. Just
thought I'd ask if anyone else has noticed a reported temp increase with
this new bios? thx!

Unless I read your first line of the post wrong, you have the version 2.0 of
the NF7S mainboard. The latest bios I found is the 2.4 for my NF7S v2.0
boards. There is indeed a 2.5 bios for the earlier models but I have not
found 2.5 for the version 2.0 boards. Did you flash with the incorrect
version by chance?

I'm up about 1 degree C on abiteq after the update. Thanks for the linkage.
Normally I don't snag directly from the TW ftp server....
