^^Thanks Alfie! I called Microsoft & got a new key in less than 5 minutes
. Now I'm anxious to see if it works, but I'm still at work

No, the 1st time I put the heatsink on I left the pre-applied thermal compund alone cause I figured the AMD folks knew better than me how much to apply. Before putting the heatsink back in for the 3rd time (yeah, I know) I cleaned all traces of thermal compound off of the CPU & the heatsink then followed the instructions in the link provided by Alaron56. I feel confident the heatsink is in contact with the CPU & all that.
I'm starting to think the reading is wrong or taken from a hot spot or something.
I want to sneak away from work & play with my computer!
