The firmware update for the force 3 is actually very simple, there is no need to reinstall anything. The advice is that if your SSD is stable, you don't need to update your firmware. Just ignore the temperature reading.

My Corsair Force 3 Runs at 128C HOT - The Corsair Support Forums

I just tried the 1.3.2 and the latest 1.3.3 a few times and none of the times it would update. I ran it as admin, turned smart through bios and also changed to ACHI but still nothing. It updates, then I re-scan to check if it took the update and it keeps showing 1.3

try boards on board contoller stata port.

got it to work finally. I made a stooopid mistake, when enabling ahci i wasnt saving the bios :( But now it worked t 1.3.3 and temps went down to 30!

I have a OCZ Vertex2 50 GB running Linux. It shows a temp of 30c. If it does not have a sensor, I wonder where it gets this reading.

I dunno, I only said that the corsair force 3 has no temperature sensor. Have you ever seen your ocz's temp fluctuate? then maybe it does have a temperature sensor. It's also possible that it's just a random generic number they put in so that monitoring programs don't report an error.

Yes, you are right, there is no sensor. I noticed this morning that my HDD's are at 25c (very cold here last night), and the SSD is still at 30c and I have never seen any fluctuations. OCZ put in a fake number.
