Bad temp and voltage sensors?

Middle of last week i noticed my cpu was sitting at idle around 50c. complete disassemble and cleaning of the heatsink. upon reassembly my bios booted with a cpu temp of 127c. AI Suite II is also reading the temp at 127c in windows. However, checking the temps in hwmonitor my cpu is idling at around 30c. hwmonitor is also showing for cpu under the motherboard section at -54c. and the temp for the motherboard is around 34c, which in the past was normal (for mobo temp). AI suite also registered my cpu vcore at 0.0 then 1.8, then 1.2/1.3.

To me, this seems like the board itself is on it's last legs. hwmonitor is showing good temps for the cpu itself. along with no changes in the vcore that drastic.

AMD Overdrive reports temps in "reverse" as Temperature Margin. It's temperature till the point of throttling down to save from overheating damage. The larger number, the better. If you want to know real temperature, subtract that number from 72c.
On Board Status page you can see other data and Logging page can follow status thru time. There is also Stability test and benchmark to check everything under full load.

Awesome, thank you for informing me of how it shows data.
