Honestly I think they fixed the F5 BIOS back on 7/21. I'm guessing the person who had an unsuccessful flash with that BIOS may have actually used the 7/18 version, or maybe some other problem happened

gigabyte answered to my question for the bad flash of f5 18/07 killer bios:
Dear Sir,

Thank you for your kindly mail and inquiry. About the issue you mentioned, please follow the steps below taking off the on-board battery to leak voltage to clear CMOS then try again later.

1) Turn off power.
2) Remove the power cord from MB.
3) Take out the battery gently and put it aside for about 10 minutes or longer. (Or you can use a metal object to connect the two pins in the battery holder to make them short-circuited.)
4) Re-insert the battery to the battery holder.
5) Connect power cord to MB again and turn on power.
6) Press DEL to enter BIOS and load fail-safe defaults setting.
7) Save changes and reboot the system.

On the other hand, attached is the final version BIOS for the motherboard. You should be able to update it by using Q-flash utility and try again later. After bios updating, please do not forget to load BIOS fail-safe default setting.
Unfortunately, if the problem still remains, we suggest you contact your retailer/supplier, or, contact with local distributor for checking and repairing. We are really sorry for the inconvenience you have with our product.
At last, if you still have any further suggestion about our products/service, please do not hesitate to contact with us. We will try our best to help you ASAP.

******** Thank you for supporting Gigabyte products ***********

good sense of humor!

as for heat, that could be explained by poor contact with the chipset...i removed the grey TIM (flimsy material) from my gigabyte and replaced it with AS Ceramique thermal paste...after doing that, i could feel more heat (by touch) coming into the heapipe system.

Have I lost the plot here ?? thought your retailer had updated your board from a F5 buggered v1.0 to a shiny new v1.3

As Ace said

might also be down to a different sensor, different sensor location. different calibration . for 7C it's no big deal in my opinion.
