I use a fanless (and noiseless ;-) ) PC case with heatpipe cooling for
the CPU.Maybe this is the reason for my high temperature.

After reducing the CPU core voltage from 1.57V to 1.50V (AMD Athlon 64
data sheet) the max temperature is in a manageable area of 62 degrees
and everything works fine :-)
