I tried to replace the old thermal paste an trie with new, but the temperatures were the same.
So I took my BOX cooler and placed it, now the CPU is runing at 50.C

But the thing is that when I putt my hand the heatsink it isnt hot, its warm but it ain't hot!

Now I took my my big home cooler and put it near the PC and now its says 46.C.

I putt my finger on the heatsink and it is cold. Now I think my motherboard sensors are broken or the CPU is bad
What do you think?

Core 2 Duo's are known to run very cool. If it's cool when you touch it, then it seems like either a sensor is bad, or the program reading the temp is wrong

C2D's are known to run even without the fan running under full load, and only get up to around 75C.

BTW, what program are you using to read the temps?

I tried Ai Suite, PC Probe II, BIOS and the same temps.
I found something interesting, the Asus P5B i think was a bug:

The heatsink is COOL. Im thinking that the motherboard was a bug, maybe Asus is going to resolve this problem and do an upgrade

The programs are probably just reading it wrong, everest sometimes reads my cpu temperature at 70C

Man 70

So I placed my Cooler Master Hyper 48 and did some modifications with the case this morning now the temperature is writing this 43.C with 2.52GHz. I think it's a lie People are having temperature problems with this mobo too. Ohh well, waiting for ASUS next motherboard update

I agree, temp monitoring software can be way off.
