Yep the new BOIS fixes that

That's what it's suppose to do isn't it ?
Up date the BOIS and you won't have the erroneous temps

Maybe we should buy a NB fan LOL

Just close it and use an icon if you want to open it although mine
didn't do it wen I have it running (which is only if I want to test
some OC'ing.)

Mine is different might want to check your BOIS setting.

Thanks for reply.
According to live update I have the latest bios (1.8) and I still get the
incorrect temperature occasionally.

What should vcore be?

Hell I don't know  
I only use that thing to stress my system from time to time.
I don't even have it running 99% of the time.

My vcore is 1.49v hmm I have two vcore one is 1.49 and the other says
+0.0%

LOL my sys temp is -5c though so this whole thing is suspect,

I am slightly overclocking (5%) and the vcore reading is 1.49 and the
CPU temp is 35C. I don't know how accurate this is but if I restart and
go into the BIOS and check the values are usually the same (and if not
they are very close). Then I continue into Windows and check and the
values still match up. I only run Core Center when I am curious what
the values are.
