Temperature problem, new to this stuff

Hey, I recently had a computer made for me and today I got speedfan just to see what my temperatures were like. I'm not sure what all the numbers mean, but two of the temperatures seem to be WAY off the scale here. I have most of the temperature readings reading anywhere from 32-43 in idle, which I presume is the normal temperatures. However, there are two that are all the way up to 126 degrees! I checked the configure tab, and those temperatures are reading from the nforce2 SMbus? I wish I knew what I was doing here, but these alrming temperatures are very problematic. Also, it reads three different fans, but only two of them are reading actual RPMs, while one reads 0. I opened up the computer and started it up to see, and it looks like all the fans are working at least to some extent. None are spinning at 0 RPMs, obviously if they're spinning at all. I'll post up the necessary system specs, but I don't know which ones you guys need. Thanks.

Speedfan may not be reading your sensor information correctly (as is the case for my motherboard - Abit AN8 sli). Try "everest home edition" from Lavalys.com. That might work better.
 
Another newbie question, but I can't seem to find how to get everest to read my temperature. Sorry to be asking for a walkthrough, but I spent a while looking for it, and I can't find the temperature monitor in this program. I also have an asus a8n, so I guess it's just reading it incorrectly.
