Whats up with these goofy KT7A temp readings?!?!

[AMD4ME2]

ok the bios usually says 36-40C but the via hardware monitor program in windows reports 25-28C!!! this is with a tbird 900@1015 I played a 3dgame came right out and it was at 30c. something doesn't seem right..

cooling this beast I have:

FOP32-1
Antec sx830(stock fans in back, 92mm in HDbay)

I also get the same reported speeds with Motherboard monitor 5.

is that the Soyo board? it may have correct bios temp readings that VIA hardware monitor doesn't pick up.

Its the Abit KT7A-Raid actually... sorry should have been more precise I know the model numbers become a giant headache to remember. anyhow im pretty sure its wrong.. perhaps its just the new chipset in general..

duh, nevermind... wasn't thinking... Not sure why the readings are like that, but you might want to private message "Insane3d" and ask him how he's measuring his kt7a temps inw indows...
