Comment 21 for bug 653770

Same issue as everyone else. However the problem only started on my machine after installing a Zotac GT 430 Graphics card.
I am using a PE-AM2RS740G2 Motherboard with Phenom x4 9450e Processor.

Looking at this thread it does seem to be an AMD issue. (Has anyone seen this problem with an Intel CPU?). Given that all I did was install a PCIe graphics card it makes me wonder is the AMD thermal sensors are sensitive to power supply noise / poor signal layout on the mother board.

If that is the case then the Thermal Monitoring service should be able to filter the readings to average out the noise.
Is there any app I can use to monitor the temperature sensor?
And if all else fails how do I disable this feature altogether?
