More O/C temp confusion... I'm running a c2d E6400 stable at 3038MHz with stock fan/sink on an ASUS P5B-E (rev 1.01G) with the following cpu temp readings- Orthos(Idle): TAT=26C, CoreTemp=23C, Probe2=44C; Orthos(blend-stress): TAT=51C, CoreTemp=52C, Probe2=70C. Any theories as to the large Probe2 disparity? Also, among users of the same mobo/cpu combination, while there appears to be consistency in the observation that Probe reads higher than either Intel TAT or Core Temp, there's
little consistency in the magnitude of the difference (in my case, as much as 18C). Do you suppose ASUS has a QC problem?
 
If both TAT and Coretemp are reporting good values, I'd trust them.

The asus software is sketchy at best... Reported my temperatures 10'c too high.
