At least its cooling down :-)  Sounds like its reporting in Fahrenheit and not 
Celcius.

This reminds me my logwatch has a ton of nonexistant device scanning from 
smartd (Inspiron 5150)

/dev/hda :  (<------dvd drive)
   1 Time(s): appears to lack SMART, use '-T permissive' Directive to try 
anyway.  
   1 Time(s): not found in smartd database.  
   1 Time(s): opened  

/dev/hdb :
   1 Time(s): opened  (<-- non existant)
   1 Time(s): unable to read Device Identity Structure  

/dev/hdc : (<--------- hdd)
   1 Time(s): is SMART capable. Adding to "monitor" list.  
   1 Time(s): not found in smartd database.  
   1 Time(s): opened  

/dev/hdd : 
   1 Time(s): opened  (<---- non existant)
   1 Time(s): unable to read Device Identity Structure  

/dev/hde :
   1 Time(s): No such device or address, open() failed  

/dev/hdf :
   1 Time(s): No such device or address, open() failed  

/dev/hdg :
   1 Time(s): No such device or address, open() failed
