There's about three different forums I could put this topic in but it seems like a MOBO issue the most. My temps seem way too...low.

CPU: 28C idle, 34C load
System: 35C
PWM IC: 32C

I'm using an SLK-948U which I figured would be good but not defy the laws of thermodynamics. I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night but how can the CPU be that much less than the system temp? I can understand a few degrees lower if the system temp monitor was in a very hot spot maybe, but this doesn't seem right. Granted with Arctic Silver 5, the 948U, and a 92mm fan running full blast on it should be cool, but I want to know what everyone else is getting. The only problems like this on the DFI forums are for readings that are too high.

I figured that would be someone's first guess but I don't think that's it because:

A. I can read. This is temp sensing software thats comes with the board so it should be labelled correctly.
B. When I flex the CPU the probe labelled "CPU temp" raises. The one labelled "system" rarely changes.

Not trying to sound mean or anything beacause I thought the same thing at first.

I guess the probe could be physically off. I'm not really looking for suggestions or advice as much as what other people are getting.
