Ken just to re-iterate much BS abounds, and it seems that urban myth is rife: temp1 and temp2 are real. temp3 is BS. You really need a calibration point. If the CPU was not seated properly it would explode in a fireball (I've been told millions of times - don't exagerate) (but it will fail in seconds) Silicone grease gives a perceptibly better bond than the built-in grey goop but there is little in it.
