It appears that the problem is with the ASUS sensors on the motherboard. MB Moniter 5 will use them but it does not appear to be any mor accurate than the ASUS software. At idle it shows a more believable temp but still spikes high when using a word processor let alone a game. For now I simply have turned off temp monitering. I know that ASUS has posted an susposed fix to the BIOS but this is at best a gamble. (Is is really a fix or just inaccurate temp moniters) I am just not comfortable flashing a BIOS-espically not on a brand new motherboard. This is disappointing at best considering that my previous MB an ABIT DID have accurate sensors and for my purposes did not and still does not need a BIOS flash. Any way other than using built in sensors to moniter temps that anyone knows of?? I am thinking of using one of those alarm types that moniter case temps and plug in to a 4 pin plug on a temporary basis.
