I have "new" MBO Epox 8RDA3+PRO. Can someone please tell me what do i have to do to get real temperature of my CPU? Now it is 35C and on my last MBO (MSI KT6Delta) it was 45C at idle! I know that this Epox is not reporting real CPU temp, because I saw few threads about this issue. I woud like to know my CPU's exact temp. before i start to OC my sistem! Is there any cure for this?

Check the temp reading in the BIOS. And if you're concerned about false readings, go to the EPOX website & see if there's a BIOS update for your board. Read over the details of what's included in the update & see if there's a "fix" mentioned for CPU temp reporting.
