Processor Temp Sensor Broken Q6700?

Hey all:

Abit IP-35 Pro w/ latest BIOS no O/C
Scythe Ninja w/ 7 120mm Coolermaster fans
4x1GB Ballistix 800
Q6700 G0
8800GTX
Thermaltake 750w PSU
Samsung SATA DVD DL
WD Raptor 150GB OS Drive

My average temps across the four cores are under full load:

Everest: 66*
Real Temp 2.6: 63*

Note a maximum variance of 3*

What is weird is that my overall CPU temp the one combination sensor, according to any program I use, is 64* no matter what. 0 load or full load it will remain at 64* and never change whatsoever. I am positive it was not happening with the processor in an older mobo but I noticed it recently. I put the new mobo in about 2 weeks ago so it is possibly related.

Anyone know why this is happening?

While I am at it does this seem hot for a stock clock? I used to be able to hit 3.4 ghz with temps around 70* and now this seems really hot. Stock 1.15 vCore. I used the reccomended application of Arctic Silver but I just do not have that much faith in the pushpin HS mounting system I wish there was an easy way to make it better. I could reseat but I do not want to as I dont really have the time to rip the mobo out of the computer.

Well it is difficult to say, there is no "overall CPU temp" sensor on the cpu so it must be a sensor on the MB. And while it gets labeled as "CPU" only abit knows where and exactly what it is reading. I agree that showing absolutely no change in temp, regardless of where and what it is trying to measure, is very strange. Even if it was just a thermister somewhere near the cpu on the board I would expect it to change. /shrug.

Is this a bios reading ? If not is there a bios temp reading that seems to match it and what is it called ? If it is a bios reading ask Abit tech support as to what and where that sensor is. Once they give you an answer then ask about the non-changing temp.

Is this a sofware reading ? If so what sofware ? Many times software reads sensors wrong , labels them wrong, or give values for sensors that are not even there.

Your cpu core temps are fine and if your cpu voltage regulation components are reasonably cool, eh no worries.
