Just built my rig and need help deciding which temp I believe. I have an aerogate 2 temp reader, an Asus a8n sli deluxe, and bfg 7800gtx. On my Aerogate seeing between 30-33C on my CPU and VGA while just surfing the net (more on 3dmark05) but my Asus software says I am at about 43C while surifng the net, and my nvidia software says my card is at 47C. Not sure which is correct since 10C is a pretty big jump. It could be somewhat dangerous if I go by my aerogate and it is wrong. What do you guys think?

Thanks.
 
I would way go with the video card's reading, because it feeds direct data to the display properties from a thermometer of sorts inside the actual GPU. Plus, if you take the higher reading you're less likely to over heat anyways.
