I have an Asus A7V133 with a 1000 Tbird.

The BIOS says 42C, and so does Asus Probe 2.12.06
HOWEVER, MBM5 says my CPU temp is 32C?!

I thought the BIOS would be the most accurate, but
alot of people are saying that MBM5 is the most accurate.
Which reading should I consider?

Thanks!

Its not usual for the ASUS probe to read the same temp as the BIOS, usually it is 10C higher. In MBM5, what sensor do you have the core temp set to? On the A7V133, the Asus 2 is the core temp, and the Asus 1 is the mobo temp.
