SiSoft Sandra Says CPU TOO HOT!!!

Quick question. guess my post didn't make it last time but here's another go.

in a nutshell

I'm running a 2.4 (533) P4
I am using the OEM CPU Fan (with arctic silver, and I *DID* remove the OEM goop from the heatsink)

Anyhow, BIOS says my CPU is running roughly 35C-42C
Sandra is saying my CPU is 127C (ironically it never changes) This morning first thing I booted my PC .. checked the Bios and was running 28C .. by the time I got to Windows Sandra was still saying 127C

I'm assuming Sandra is wrong and follow my bios. I just want a second opinion.

Yep, listen to the BIOS sensor and not what Sandra is spewing.

Awesome!

Thanks for the backup there. That's what I was figuring. (This was just the first PC I've built in .. oh .. 12 years)

Thanks again.
