I have a Supermicro SC760-A case, about 18 fans, an Asus A7M266 motherboard, an AMD 1200 mhz thunderbird, and a Swiftech MC462-A HSF, nothing is overclocked, nothing ever was overclocked. My temps used to be very good, in the last 2 weeks, they have jumped from around 32 to 48 C. Thats a big increase. What could be the cause? PC Probe says the fan on my swiftech isnt spinning, I opened the case, it is spinning, fast enough to chop an erasor off a pencil (note: never get your hand close to a swiftech, I did this, almost cut through my entire finger...they should put grills on these things or something :)) Anyway, help me.

First guess is dust. What is the case temp? With that many fans it should be room temp.

I have a second theory. You never had PC Probe configured properly. You made some configuration change that caused it to start reading the temperature correctly, but now the fan sensor is configured wrong. 32C is very cool for a 1.4 TBird.

AT Member to doctor: It hurts when I stick my finger into a spinning fan
Doctor: Don't do that.

haha, um, i checked for dust, not much of that anywhere, MB temp is 24C while CPU temp is 48C. This just seems wrong, could my motherboard be broken?

You should try to compare the result of cpu temp - motherboard temp
when motherboard temp increase, cpu temp will increase with it as well
