I have the asus p5k premium, a q6600 g0, 4x1gb of pc6400 geil black dragon and the weirdest thing happend. I flashed bios from 0204 (I think, whatever it was shipped with), to 0404 and immediately my temps went from 27c idle to 42c idle at stock!!!! I have a thermalright ultra 120 extreme and nice airflow in a p182 case and havent touched it. Now that I have a stable overclock that I'm happy with my temps touch 70c when under full load from prime, idles around 50c, this is unusually high for a g0 isnt it?

vcore is 1.4125, ram is 1.9v all other voltages are auto :s my heatsink isnt hot to the touch at full prime load so do you think its just that the new bios is messing my temp sensors around?

Installed the hack and got coretemp on there, its reading 70-75c under max prime95 load after a few hours, but my vcore is only 1.40 o_O I checked the heatsink and tightened the screws again :S
 
I have a load temp of around the 70 mark on a 3.42 overclocked G0 Q6600, with a Scythe Ninja. Seems to run happily enough, and it only gets to that temp when Folding or running Prime95, so games shouldnt be a problem.

There is a bug in the v806 BIOS upgrade for my P5K-E WiFi which results in the voltage setting in BIOS being incorrectly applied (difference is 0.5V from memory). There could be a similar but different bug in your new BIOS. CPU-Z should accurately report actual chip voltage, otherwise temps look about right for a big overclock.
 
would check the base of your ultra-120... am on similar motherboard and similar RAM have GeIL 800mhz ULL... and get temps in sig.. this is with some over the top Air cooling but those load temps look high for that cooler and cvore
