System temp

I wonder if my system temp is reading correctly. MBM shows 47c for my system temp. This cannot be right. My CPU temp is only 40c right now. How can system be more than CPU? Is the reading backwards? System is CPU and CPU is system? My BIOS shows the same thing.

Albatron PX845PEV Pro with P4 2.26Ghz running 2.55Ghz with FSb 150 and memory at DDR400. Memory is Corsair XMS3200
 
i'm using Stock Intel HSF and stock chipset cooler on the mobo. No Water cooling although I am looking into that as an option for the future. I'm at a loss here. Why would it show that high?

Yes my BIOS reports CPU 40c and system 47c
 
From my experience, that's extremely high for a system temp. Mine is 26C right now, and rarely gets above 30, in a normal air-cooled machine. Maybe it's reading in Farenheit, or the wrong sensor or something? Does it feel incredibly hot in the case to you?
 
my system temp goes to about 40C+ in the summer time sometimes (it did this summer), but my cpu temp also increases....

try taking the case off the side ifyou havent already, it might help

im guessing one of the thermal sensors is really wrong
do you know where the system diode is located? (maybe you have a hot hd or somethin near it...)

Temp sensors are often really high tolerance... so you can't trust them to be especially accurate. I dont think it should be THAT far off though.
 
If your CPU temp is higher than your system temp its definitely wrong, but you mention that even the BIOS claims this, so that's puzzling. Check MBM's motherboard database on which sensor you should be using, but I'm not sure if they have any info on the Albatrons since they're a really new company...you can post in MBM's forum to ask though, Alex frequents his own forums and I always get a quick informative answer when I post a question in his forums.
