How accurate are the temps on the Abit IT7 MAX?

I have a 2.4B (BO) running 2.94 GHz @1.70 vcore (in Windows), and my Abit says I am pushing 64C during Sandra burn-in. I really don't believe it, because my temps were not that high on my Epox 4G4A+ (with more voltage to boot). My board temp also seems a little high. (about 4 degrees C).

I tried switching out the Stock Heatsink for my Alpha with 46 CFM fan, but that didn't help temps at all.

I just wondered if others with this board were having the same issue, and had a guess as to how much it was off by. I think I can hit 3 GHz with a bit more voltage, but I don't want to go any higher until I feel a bit safer about these temps.

The IT7 MAX usually reads 8-10c high. I think you are in good shape.

Thanks.

Yup... that's about where I hit, in terms of temp (~63C), under full load in p95 with my IT7Max2v2 (and I'm using less voltage ~1.56v actual).. It worried me in the beginning, but I just learned to ignore it...
