    I had this up and running today while gaming on my 7811fx and my TZSO reading spiked to 98C it says? Everything else looks fine, GPU 69 C etc. What exactly does this mean? Is it bad?

    A few people have noticed this. If you didn't notice a problem, then ignore it. There seem to be two different flavors. One is a short spike to 98C that does absolutely nothing. The other instance is brought on by OCing your GPU or CPU (or both) and will downthrottle the processor. There is a lot of speculation as to what causes it. But basically if you aren't seeing a problem, then ignore it. (It happened to me last night playing HalfLife 2 and I didn't drop a frame.)
