hey guys...

a friend of mine bought the 8rda3+ and has a very weird problem..

whenever the cpu usage goes up, his temps skyrocket....

he'll be running 0% cpu usage @ 38C (slk800), then as soon as the cpu usage goes up to 100 (folding or prime) , his temps jump up to 70+ within SECONDS!! the cpu temp jumps 8C / second... now, the heatsink doesn't change its temperature... so i figure that the problem is with the temp sensor...
also, when we turn off prime or folding, the temps drop down within seconds too... and its physically impossible for them to go up/down THAT quickly....

what do you guys think??? (were RMA'ing the board soon)
