[rescue] 501-5365 in E3000 causes "Overtemp detected on board 16" during POST

Board 16 is the clock board, boards 0 to 15 are the CPU or IO boards.

I am carefully looking over it now, to see if I can see a scratch or 
other damage.

I am running OpenBSD on it at the moment (with the original clock board) 
and it can display the clock board temperature, so it does contain some 
sort of "smart" temperature probe.

Cheers,
Ethan
