It's very likely an ACPI configuration problem (with the motherboard/
motherboard BIOS).  I have some Asus boards which claim to support
the ACPI thermal zone stuff, but an ACPI configuration dump shows
the value being returned as a static 40C (e.g. the value is hard-coded
and isn't tied to any hardware).

You could use acpidump -d to confirm this.
