Well amongst all things i was get'n some real F'd up temp readings from my mobo sensors with various programs, and even probes..
I stumbled upon a laser temp gun and happend to be shooting the back of my mobo around my mosfets and such and the transformers.. well when i saw 55C i was like DA*#..
so for a getto temporary temp solution i hung a 80mm fan from the top of my case with the side panel off and let it blow against the back of the PCB..
i guess those parts were get'n so hot it caused the PCB to get DAM hot to and throw all my thermosisters off. just doing this not only cooled of the mosfets and such QUITE a bit even on the front, but lowered my so called *bunny rabbits* "temps" around 10C!! yikes..
Just goes to show you should check around for "hot spots" on your board.. suprised ME how much that they can thrown things off
