False motherboard emviornment readings

[Matt2]

As I've stated before in my other topic, I ma having problems with my motherboard's CPU temperature reading.

Intel P4 2.4B @ 2.79 GHZ (155x18) 1.5v
Albatron PX845PEV Pro
512mb PC2700 Crucial DDR RAM
GeForce4 Ti4400

ok, I've overclocked my CPU quite a ways and its rock solid and i did it wihtout playing with RAM timings or voltage settings.

In the BIOS, the HW Monitor says my CPU is idling at 27*C!! Full load temp is 33*C.

Motherboard Monitor 5 says the same thing and SiSOft Sandra says my CPU is 69*C.

IS there anyway to get the real temp or is this normal for Intel CPUs?

Do I ahve a faulty sensor and need to send the mobo back?

If it's stable does it really matter what the temperatures are? I've installed temperature monitoring programs a couple of times. But I end up uninstalling it since I never use them. Just stick with one way of checking it. Anyways intels throttle down if the get too hot.
