However, I believe the reported value is wrong.  10c is a huge difference in values - which is correct?  All Cores are running Folding@Home at 100%, so this is a load temp and would not be available if I rebooted to bios to verify.

James,

For some reason later versions of the uguru (and earlier versions too after a 
BIOS update) seem to report much too low CPU temp values. I guess they are 
reporting the actual sensor value and adding some offset to compensate for the 
distance between the sensor on the motherboard and the actual CPU.

So I think the core temp readings are correct, esp. for a loaded system.

Regards,

Hans
