Russ Price: You've got an Athlon X2, I've got a Core 2 Duo; yet we both have wacky CPU temperatures. Mine is reporting that it is 11 degrees C. On a really hot day, when I'm video encoding without the air con turned on, the CPU gets up to a whopping 17 degrees celcius. Or, at least, I assume that's the incorrect temperature; the room temp is 40 degrees C and the system temp is 31 degrees.

I don't know quite how, but there could be a link.
