what temperature did blackbox report for "chassis" ?
if it really concerns you, you could get an external temperature sensor, such as this one
My cousin is in same scenario except the bad temp sensor is for the CPU. He took it to the store, changed the heatsink/thermal paste and still the temps idles at 60 degrees and 90+ degrees load till the computer auto shuts itself. He's changed the CPU to a 3.4Ghz new one and still temps are the same. I've suspect BIOS, thermal sensor problem in his case and have advised him to look for a new motherboard if he wants to keep his current setup or else just build a new cheap rig and sell the working old parts.
Don't worry about CPU, that board model does have isues with CPU sensors. Just update the BIOS software and it'll be OK. The problem is that the other sensors, AUX (as reported by SpeedFan), seem to be inaccurate to.
I put a lot of fans and temp values just won't go down. I had the thermal paste for both the CPU and heatsink changed. I also tried removing the side covers. The interesting thing is that teperature values don't go dow even if you can physically feel they are lower (now the air that is being blown out feels much cooler than before, and the northbridge chip doesn't cause water to boils (it is supposed to be 100șC)).
I believe the porblem here is the sensors not the real temperature.
