I have the MSI FM2-A75MA-E35 paired with an AMD a6-5400k. Because the stock cooler fan is quite loud I want to use Smart Fan Control. The issue with Smart Fan Control is that my motherboard seems to be reading cpu temps incorrectly. I have tried CPUID HWMonitor and Piriform Speccy. The temperatures they show are much higher than MSI Control Center or the BIOS. Because of this, I have to set the fan to run at 100% all the time to keep the CPU cool. I am using the most recent bios; version 2.3. Any help is greately appreciated.

The temps that the bios show are ridiculously low such as 20c and MSI Control Center shows 40c at max load prime95. Other software that I mentioned earlier shows upwards of 60c at max load which is closer to AMD's reported max temps of 70c. I'm pretty sure that the software is correct.
