That's an interesting idea. I have loaded coretemp and monitored CPU temp during the stress tests (which is pretty stable) but could be something else on the board. Transferring to new box is a good idea, unfortunately they have sold out (and have a huge backlog) but hopefully this will sort itself out shortly. Other then the reboots (!) it's a really good box.
