Should I be concerned with these temp readings?

I recently built a new system around an Asus P5E (bios 402), C2D
E6850, ATI 2600 XT, and a CoolerMaster 534 case. I ran Prime95 last to
load test the system and about 25 minutes into the test, Asus PC Probe
was reporting a CPU temp of 91 deg Celsius and MB temp of 192 deg
Celsius ( yes, those numbers are Celsius not Fahrenheit... I'm not
making this up). Needless to say I immediately shutdown Prime95. The
CPU temp slowly came down to the mid 80's C and stayed there for about
3 or 4 minutes until I rebooted. I entered the Bios and went to
Hardware Monitor and the CPU temp was 40-42 deg C and MB temp was 35
deg C. I reran Prime 95 this morning for about 20 minutes and the CPU
temp never rose above 53 deg C and MB temp never went higher than 36
deg C.


Any opinions on what might have been going on last night. I should
also add that I am not overclocking the CPU nor the memory. Everything
is running at stock frequencies and voltages. Could this have damaged
the CPU in anyway?

Why is it inappropriate to double post? If a post applies to several forums, why should I limit the discussion to only those people who may only read one group.
