I know I apologize again. I did not think this post would generate so
much feedback. 

Well I built another kernel without SMP and the temp dropped so I am
beginning to see this may be SMP related possibly. Later tonight I am
going to attach a mechanical gauge to the CPU's to verify the
temperatures. I failed to mention we have another (identical) board and
it reports the same thing so until I verify the temp the only other
possibility is a bug in the temp IC *but* the bios reports the same
thing as lmmon so that is doubtful.
