As a followup note, it looks like my thermal issues weren't as bad as the initial tests showed. It looks like Linux lmsensors running from the Live CD showed *much* higher temps than what the BIOS was reporting. And once I actually *installed* Linux and did a full update, lmsensors now shows a consistent set of temperatures down in the high 30s to mid 40s Celcius.
Actually, come to think of it, the difference is almost perfect for the original OMG!-high temps to have been a F/C conversion error. Hm....
