Asus P5Q MB temp oddity

my 24/7 rig is:
P5Q with a E8500 @ 4.365 (485x9)
OCZ Flex mem @ 582 (5,5,5,15)
lapped TRUE
Antec900 with reversed airflow
air conditioner blowing right @ the side/back
room temp is 69F (20.5C)

as of a few days ago, ive been getting PC probeII warnings on my MB temp
its currently @ 51C :eek:

seeing as i have an air conditioner blowing right @ the intakes of the case i have a HARD time believing i have ANY part of the rig > 36C (CPU @ 35C ; 50% usage FOLDing on the GPU)

ive reinstalled PC probeII, closed GPU FOLDing, made sure all fans are functioning etc etc nothing seems to help


has anyone else run into any problems like this or have any suggestions/thoughts?

any clue where the MB temp sensor is on the mobo?




EDIT:

ok i admit, there is one part of the rig > 35C... the 9800 GTX GPU core is @ 42C (100% load FOLDing)
