I just built my first AMD system. T-bird 1.1 retail HS/fan on MSI K7T Pro2-A.Sisoft Standard reports Board Temp 32C, CPU 72C, and Power/Aux 44C. PC Alert III (software that came with the MB) reports CPU 42C and Chassis 29C. Why would they be reporting different temps and which one should I trust? These are temps at idle and not OC'd. 72C seems a little high if Sisoft is accurate is it not? Seems to run fine, no hiccups, etc. Thanks for any info.

Thanks mrCide. MBM5 reports the same temps as PC Alert so I guess its safe to assume Sisoft is the bogus one.

Sisoft is most definatly bogus as far as temp goes,
probably other things too, but don't know for sure.
