Hi all,
I've just posted an updated BIOS that fixes the spurious thermal event you're seeing at boot and in the Event Logs. It's available now at https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=24519. .
Updated: I apologize - the new version is 0043 (not 0042). I fixed the URL here.
