The first thing right off would be to replace the heat sink/fan combo on cpu #2 to see if it managed to survive. A freeware like SpeedFan is far better then SiSoftware's outdated program there. You can look that over at http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php

If your board is only 27C you have nothing to worry about there. The speed of the fan depends on whether it is stock or an aftermarket model. But the real thing to look at here is the #2 cpu problem. Depending the operating system you are running you can often right click on the MyComputer icon to see what that says for cpu there. If only one is shown at 2ghz the #2 cpu obviously failed. If two are listed the second cpu is still working.
