SiSoft Temps wrong?

[NotSoSimple]

I ran the burn in wizard and this is an excerpt from the report:

Board Temperature : 30.0°C (Min 30.0°C; Avg 30.3°C; Max 31.0°C)
CPU Temperature : 24.0°C (Min 18.0°C; Avg 22.0°C; Max 24.0°C)
Power / Aux Temperature : 32.0°C (Min 29.0°C; Avg 31.0°C; Max 32.0°C)

Well in MBM5 its reporting that my Processor is 30*C and my System temp is 24*C. Now is SiSoft Sandra accurate in what temp its pulling and is MBM5 Setup wrong, or is SiSoft wrong and MBM5 accurate?

looks like Sandra is just reversing the temps, check the temps in bios right after checking them in sandra.

Mine misreports too I think. It was showing temperatures well below what the software provided by my motherboard manufacturer claimed (MSI uses PCAlert.) I'm going to assume my motherboard manufacturer knows more about the sensors than SiSoft does. It came out to something like 2-6 degrees off on the CPU and just 2 or 3 on the chasis. Both were lower, which kind of screwed up my tests since I didn't realize it at first.

Of course, it may well be just switching them. If it detects sensor a, b, and c, it can still improperly detect which is which easily enough.

Oh, and personally I found that my bios reports like 10 below what everything else says. I suspect it's just a well made (CPU efficient) bios and that my cpu isn't really running in the area of 28C or so with a generic HSF.
