Ultra Microfly LCD Accurate?

[liquidfluidity]

Just checking to see what some people are experiencing for temps on the Microfly's LCD readout. Mine appears to be about 5*C on the high side. This is using a Raytek temp gun which is supposed to be pretty accurate. The other thing I just noticed is that The LCD was reading 79*C for a little bit. This is what urged me to check the temp. It blinked between this temp and the load temp - 41*C - a couple of times and then settled back on the normal temps. My temp probe is mounted to the side of the heatsink down next to where it makes contact with a 3800 X2 cpu. Using the gun , the rest of the components in the system read quite a bit below the cpu load temp. Faulty sensor? Any experiences with bad temp sensing or faulty LCD screens in the Microfly?

i had a qpack and while the lcd readouts where close, they were not entirely accurate. honestly i would use a program like speedfan, everest, tat, etc. to get accurate readings on your hardware.

Haha. Mine's 8c high. A copper hotplate (from a peltier) registerd 42c with the temp probe and 34 with my thermohawk...

I know not to believe in these types of readings but why don't companies include trustable parts on their equipment? Frustrating! This is a new set-up and I have been watching the temps pretty closely as it's a gaming machine that's getting used probably 15 - 18 hours a day. Thanks for the replies guys.
