Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
2400+ temps

Heh, when it stops working, worry
. Seriously, your temps are fine. "Good" temps would be about 10 cooler, but you are not hurting anything at those temps. These things don't fry until like 85C. Of course it will lose stability way before that a either hang or just reboot. Mine runs prime at 49. That's at 2600Mhz and 1.95 vcore though! As long as your CPU is stable, don't sweat it.

I updated my BIOS to the latest revision, and it is reporting a better 42C to 46C
It just could be that simple.

Flash Menu is the easiest way to do it. It is safe, but no method is 100% reliable. You can download FlashMenu from Abit's web site. It is windows based, so no floppy required. It has the option to do a live update via the internet, but I would recommend just downloading the bios file and flashing it from the HD. BTW, a new bios will not make your chip actually run cooler, but it may lower the temps that are reported. Also, Abits are known to report temps anywhere from 10-15 degrees higher than actual. One more important point; never flash your bios while overclocked!
One more thing. I personally would not do a bios update just because the reported temps might off. Most likely, the will still be incorrect after the bios flash. Some people have reported even higer temps after flashing to a more current bios. But it is your machine, so do with it as you will.

Why not update your bios?
I'm not saying updating your bios is a bad thing, but needless bios updates are just unnecessary risks. Just personal preferance i guess. I'll certainly upgrade if there are new features to be taken advantage of (I'm using Tictacs modded bios for example), or if something is broken. I just personally don't think temps are worth it as they are still likely to be wrong after the flash.
I think its good to update at least once a year, or maybe two depending on whats going on. I just think its good for your system to be up to date, and also its better if you are getting a faster proc.
I guess its really personal preference.
Cheers,
