How accurate is Asus Probe?

that MB monitoring software that comes with Asus Mobos.
how accurate are the temperature readings?

I dont know how accurate but.. I have 3 CUSL2, using 2 850 and 1 933 cpus and two of them read 41 on the same heatsink but one reads 61, even with dual fan on the heatsink, it still reads 61, so my sensor could be shot for one of them...

All I know is the cpu is way too cool with two of those delta fans and don't think it can get cooler...

Hmmm... I have a P3-700@1000 1.75V on a CUSL2.
Here are some of my temperature readings.

41 cpu temperature running full load for about 1hr
28 cpu temperature running idle
26 mobo temperature (constant, with or w/o full load)

18 thermostat temperature reading in my house

I was wondering if the idling temperature was considered low.
If so, perhaps the CPU temperature under full load is as well?
While in the bios, the temperature reading is usually around 36-39 degrees as well.
Shouldn't readings while in the bios be similar to idling temperature?
