Default Wow! Temp Probe Discrepancies

I was just messing around with temp probes and I found that my A7V's onboard sensor (not the under the processor kind, but the tape me down kind) was a full 5 degrees above what It should read. I compared its temps in MoboMonitor to a calibrated labratory temp sensor. It was a full 5 higher than what the lab probe displayed. No wonder my temperatures looked like poop compared to everyone elses. I tested 3 different areas to make sure it wasnt just chance. Ambient down by the motherboard read 38 on my onboard probe, while the lab probe read 34.3. Case temp read 34 on the board and 29 on the lab probe. I feel better about my numbers now, having the probe on my motherboard calibrated.

Tell me what you think
