Affect of motherboard on CPU temps.... Or a broken sensor

Hello folks!

I recently purchased a new motherboard for my computer and saw a 15*C increase in temperature in my Athlon 3200+ (939). In the old board (An MSI low-end model) the temperatures were at 32-40* Now with the new board they are at 45-55*. I was wondering why the change in mobo would have such an affect on the temperature. Any of you have the answer?

Thanks

Okay, so I downloaded Everest Ultimate trail, and it says this:

CPU: 53*
CPU #1: 35*

The software that came with the motherboard, and the BIOS say the higher one.
 
Yeah, I used arctic silver 5, and I just bought a Ninja Plus to cool it with a few days ago.

Oh, also its an Athlon 3200+ so it definetly should not be, nor ever was before on the other board, this hot.
 
Everything is definetly working. I have tried reapplying thermal paste about 3 times with little results. When I use Everest it lists 2 CPU temps. CPU, which is the high one, and CPU #1 which shows temps as the should be, or at lease around there.

How much thermal paste did you put on? Less then a pea sized drop should have been applyed.
 
I put very little. At first i though I might have put too much, so I took it off, cleaned it up, and reapplied it. I reapplied it 3 times. Using less each time. It made absolutly no diffrence. I ened up putting very little at the end.

Dunno if it matters, but I have a JetWay 939GT4-SLI-G
