Got my machine assembled tonight with my new parts and everything is running great, except , my CPU temps are reading 13-14 C idle, which is obviously not right. The bios shows 30C at startup, which is much more reasonable, but HWMonitor and Core Temp both read ridiculously low temps.

Here's the build:
Biostar TA770 A2+
X2 5000+ Black Edition
Arctic Freezer 64 Pro
2x1gig G-skilll DDR2-800
Audigy 2ZS
Corsair 520HX PSU
eVga 7950GT KO 256mb
250 gig sata HD
sata burner

I'm currently OC'd to 3.0 ghz (changed nothing but bumping the multiplier to 15x) and it's running totally stable, but I'd like to try and push it a bit further and I need to know what the temps really are.

Anyone ever run into this before? Oddly enough, my old Opty 170 also read low temps, but I eventually assumed it was cold-bugged .

Every part in this rig aside from the video card and sound card are less than a month old (PSU, mobo, CPU, and memory are brand new as of today). The only thing that's not new is the case (Antec Super Lan Boy).

This is driving me crazy!

Has anyone here run into this before?
 
I did the same thing over the christmas. Upgraded to a 5000+ BE, my cpu temps is reading 10C (yes, 10C). I also bump the speed to 3GHz with 15X.

I have another oddity, my computer now does not accept my password after the screensaver is on for a long time (maybe half a day?). If it is a couple hrs, it is ok. It is also ok if I reboot. I don't know what's going on. It works fine before with 3800+ single core.
 
don't worry my brisbane runs really low to the thing that I find most accurate for temp readings is the motherboard tool that biostar gives, it gave me more realistic temps compared to core temp or speedfan.
 
Using the Biostar monitoring utility, I now read 25C at idle and 41C under load after an hour. More reasonable, but still seems kinda low. At least it's above room temp, and it still seems completely stable.

Man, that Biostar utility is well and truly butt-ugly!
