I had this happen with my Intel 865 PERL. On the 865 the System Zone 2 sensor is between the CPU and the memory slots. Its pretty hard to get good air flow to that area.
As Cricket suggest - make sure your drive cables do not block the flow of air. System zone 2 still runs hot on my system but since I tucked the cables in a bit I don't get any warnings anymore.
