Is this believable or is my core sensor messed up?

It is not out of the realm of possibility.

Have you compared the readings to other utilities?

CoreTemp or Everest?

I think the real question is how on earth can you be comfortable at 18* C.

lol....18c is almost 65F......i wear a sweatshirt or something long sleeved.

and yes I have compared and compared, and I do have a rather ridiculous amount of fans going.................................

that's intake blowing on the back of the cpu/mobo

What does your BIOS reading state the temperature is?

BIOS says CPU is 40c.......would you say the CPU is idle when in BIOS screens?

BIOS reading is purportedly with a load (approx. 70~80%?... I have never confirmed, but empirically speaking it seems to be true).

What are the Load temps that your utilities are reading?

Can you discern a trend or consistency (accounting for variation)?

when I race GTLegends Core temp reports a high of about 50-52c right now it say a high of 41c. I think the BIOS reading sounds about right if it's true that it runs the CPU at 75-80%.

the reason I really question the readings is because I am OC'd 500mHz and the voltage is up from stock 1.35 to 1.475v

The answer is that the core temp sensor is messed up on that 3700 chip.

Now that I installed my Opty 170 the Core temps are about 2 degrees higher than the CPU reading @ idle. This makes a lot more logical sense to me.
