Problem with motherboard's reading of CPU temperature...

I just upgraded to an Athlon XP 2800+ yesterday along with an A7N8X Dlx. mobo, 1GB of PC3200, and a Volcano 11 as my HSF.

Anyway, the HSF seems to be working fine, but yet my bios reads my temps as extremely high, like in the 60s-70s if I game a lot. I just ran Asus Probe AND CPUCool which identified the CPU temperature as a great 45-46 degrees, yet the bios reads it as 67 still which makes the mobo shut the computer off because it thinks it's overheating. I haven't put any Arctic Silver on the CPU yet, because it wasn't available at the time, but I figured that since I'm not overclocking, it should be stable even without a thermal compound.

I am getting some Arctic Silver III in the mail soon. I ordered it when I ordered my parts; it just didn't get here.
Do you know anyway to make the mobo read the CPU temp right?
 
so wth? Is the cpu touching the hsf w/ no kind of goo or thermal pad wtf? You need some kind of thermal solution. Surpise it havent fryed yet.
 
Can't you turn off the cpu shutdown? Update the bios think the board has an option to read temperatures from the thermal diode use that.
