Weird temperature/voltage sensors for Gigabyte GA-8PE667 i845PE mainboard

Hi guys,
Just got a P4 2.4B with the above-mentioned board, and I'm getting a lot of weird readings from the temperature and voltage sensors. Here's the deal...

In BIOS, the CPU temperature reads 36C, but there's no case temperature available.

In Sandra 2002 Pro, the CPU temperature reads 108C, and the case temperature is 25C

In MBM 5.210, depending on the sensors I use, I get readings like 25C(IT8712F-1/IT8712F-2), 74C(IT8712F-3), 108C(IT8712F-2 diode), 63C(MAX1617-9)

According to the MBM motherboard list, I should be using IT8712F-1 for the Case sensor and IT8712F-3 diode for the CPU sensor, but that'll mean that my CPU temperature is 25C, and the IT8712F-3 diode isn't even selectable(defaults to "None" if I select it).

Nowhere else other than the BIOS do I get the 36C CPU temp reading...

I open up my case and feel the stock intel HSF, and its not even warm, its pretty much room temperature, so the BIOS reading of 36C could be right.

Other than that, my voltage readings are screwed up too, no matter which of the 3 available voltage sensors I pick.

Does anyone have any idea what's wrong? I've posted a thread in the MBM forums, but haven't gotten a reply thus far...

I just downloaded it...and CPU 2 is giving me 33-34C if I select diode or transistor. CPU 1 is giving me 25C if I select thermistor and nothing if anything else is selected. That's the same temp as Case temp if I select one of the sensors...
