How accurate is the ECS k7vta3 mobo for temps? My thermistor reads 39c idle right now and like 44c load.. my fins are always cool to the touch and im not sure if this is because of bad conductivity between the cpu and heat sink (im using as5 and i think i have a good amount) or if its whats supposed to happen.

Id use my diode but its completely off (says like -33c and my bios edition is fine). im using a tt silent boost and as5.
 
the fins will usually be cool to the touch... why? cause the fan is coolign them, thats how it works


touch the base near the CPU and that'll be warm though
