1.6a @2.2 is same temp as case, is Asus Probe reading right?

[CanisEstInVia]

temps of cpu and mobo are 36 and 36 idle. cpu gets up there to 48 under load and causes mobo temp to get up to 38-39.

I know that temp readings are different between motherboards and such, but the cpu temp reading low makes me think that I should be adjusting temp to +5 or something. Is this unusual or do p4s run that cool? Ive actually tried using MBM, but I duno how to set it up . It's kinda confusing.

some notes:
I'm running a miniATX with no vcore adjustments, so my chip is running default voltage.
Case temp is a tad higher than norm cuz lack of airflow.

that's an average temp for a P4, you're good.

Yeh! it does that sometimes! I thought the Asus Probe was surely wrong after seeing that a few times. Thanks for easing my concerns fellas.

What heatsink are you running? Intel Stock?
I'm running a 2.53 @ 2.8 with a Thermtake Volcano 478. It's not an impressive cooler but at Idle I run 25c/77f on the board and 26c/78f on the cpu.
