High temperature reading

This is a discussion about High temperature reading in the Windows Hardware category; I am running a Pentium D 805 (stock right now) And my motherboard utility (uGuru) is reporting idle temps around 60-70 degrees celcius. It reports a system temp of 25-28 which is fine with me, running 6600 GT's in SLi and 2 HDD's.

I am running a Pentium D 805 (stock right now) And my motherboard utility (uGuru) is reporting idle temps around 60-70 degrees celcius. It reports a system temp of 25-28 which is fine with me, running 6600 GT's in SLi and 2 HDD's. But my question is, could the motherboard be reporting a bad temp? It doesnt feel unreasonably hot on the side of the heatsink, and SpeedFan reports an idle temp of 35 or so degrees celcius. Motherboard Monitor does not support my mobo so I cant try that program to see what it says. Anyone know what I can do to see if it really is too hot? I have tried reseating the heatsink multiple times and using Arctic Silver 5 with two clean applications tried. Let me know if there is anything I can do to make sure the processor is fine. Thanks!

OP
Anyone have a link to a temperature probe I can place under the heatsink and monitor the temp from the outside?
