so i swapped from a abit ag8 to a asus p5b-e, same cpu (prescott 2.8 @ 3.6)

on the ag8 it used to read the cpu at around 33~42 (idle~load)

now on the p5b-e, it reads 49~55+
what's going on?!?!

im sure my heatsink has been installed properly (ultra 120 w/fan on both set ups)

i dont know what's accurate and what's not anymore

and im running vista, using asus AIsuite to read the temps on the new set up
used to use mbm5 to read, but it now refuses to run with new mobo.

Different mobos and different programs give different results often, AFAIK.
Could just be that they either take the temp in a different way or from a different place or something.
