erronious temporature warnings on new FC4 box

[Gary Stainburn]

Hi folks.

I've just build a new FC4 system on a spare tower box I had and all 
worked fine.  This system is replacing an old RH7.3 system running in a 
rack chassis which has a different motherboard etc.

However, when I transferred the HDD to the rack chassis and powered up I 
had 2 problems.  This problem is that a few minutes after booting up 
the following starts popping up in all available consoles (plus a 
kwrite window).

eddie1 kernel: CPU0: Temperature above threshold

eddie1 kernel: CPU0: Running in modulated clock mode

However, the CPU isn't overheating and I've no idea why it's running in 
'modulated clock mode' or even what it is.

I've left the box powered up in the BIOS 'PC Health Check' screen for 15 
minutes and the CPU temp stays at around 70degs with the permitted 
range stated as being 60-90degs.

Anyone any ideas what these mean, and how I can sort it? The box is 
FC4+yum update.

Cheers
Gary
