<SYMPTOMS>
The CPU temperature becomes about 10 degrees higher after update
to latest 3R BIOS.
<CAUSE>
Award changes some default settings of register values in new
BIOS code and leads to higher CPU temperature in idle state.
<MORE INFORMATION>
We investigate several kinds of KT133A mainboards and find similar
behavior with the same hardware/software configuration.
