But the air coming off the heatsink cannot be hotter than the cpu (otherwise
it would heat the cpu not cool it).
The cpu must always be hotter than the case air temp (unless your water or
Refrigeration cooling or such like)

try to locate it tomarrow when i have some light. thanks for all your
help. Is there a diffrent program i can use to see if the temps are
reversed?

Looking at the specs of this board it appears that the sys temp sensor is
between the cpu and the northbridge, I wonder if it is picking up the hot
air
from the cpu fan?
