cpu temp in bios = 38C, mbm shows 70C??

[Maverick2002]

Just put together a P4 2.4C (retail hsf) on a Soyo P4i865PE Dragon 2 Plus v1.0 motherboard. Downloaded MBM5 and updated to the latest [september] patch. MBM is telling me my CPU is running at 70C; the BIOS is saying my CPU is at 38C (a lot more believable). Is MBM just whack? Any ideas on how to fix this?

Also, are there any other temp. monitoring utilities out there that are more basic than MBM? I don't need all the functionality of MBM for this system - just system tray case/CPU temp display and an alarm/shutdown on overheat.

Are you sure you have the sensor set to the right thing?

Correct divider, etc?

How do you set the divider? What IS the divider? I see no such settings ..

There are 3 winbond sensors detected by MBM for my motherboard. The first sensor is the case temp (32C). The other two sensors both report around 70C.
