Bios update make cpu warmer?

[celliott]

I have just upgraded the Bios on a old P3 Dell system and I have noticed the CPU heatsink is hot to touch even with the case off.

Is it possible for the bios to have an impact on the actual cpu's temperature? Im sure it never got this warm before.

Ah good. I guess I will try and downgrade it then.
