remount the block ! seems you don't have a good contact between with block and the core.

In my experiences on many forums, the Neo 2 has a driver issue with the temp sensor. DL and flash to the new bios.
That should fix it.

Very true. Even with the new bios readings are still off by a few degrees and they constantly vary. I think they simply cant get it right. My temp probe sometimes shows variations of +/- 11c from what my mobo reports. I wouldn't get too concerned.

I've had best luck with 1.4beta. There was a website where you could d-load pretty much any bios made for Neo2 so far, but I'm afraid the link is dead and MSI forum is currently down. If you want it or wish to try a modded 1.5beta, which is also good, pm me and I'll send it to you.
