So your entire computer is above the temperature of your processor....which is in your computer........

If you let your computer on, for say, 3 days, looping 3dmark, how high does the temp get.... Surely your CPU cant be always cooler than the ambient temperature of the case, the temp of the air that its using to cool the processor....

I see the screeshots too, but I mean, your using 30C air, to cool off a CPU to 25C, something isnt adding up.

I am not sure why my temps are so low.I used to have a shuttle AK32A motherboard and my CPU temp was always in the mid thirties to mid forties , but as soon as I changed boards my temps dropped drastically to what they are now.I have no idea why they dropped but they did.

I have no idea why this is. Maybe the sensor for my cpu was from the same batch as Abu's hard drive sensor . I don't know. It wasn't like this with my old board,generally the CPU temps were at least 1-2 degrees higher than the system temps were.
Hell,here's another screen shot with Hmonitor and MBM5 Image Resized

You don't have any idea what the "AUX" voltage would be, do you. It has got me a bit paranoid as it is showing up in red.

Sounds like a sensor is reading wrong.

You should go find out MBM configures things, and set it up and see what you might find.

Although if its a sensor reading low, different monitoring softwares will all read the same wrong sensor, wrong.

OK,I went to the MBM5 motherboard sensor list page and according to that page my MBM5 is reading the right senso for the case and the right sensor for the CPU.
You don't suppose maybe the board needs a BIOS update? This could be common issue with these boards.Hmmm,I'll check .

Well,did the BIOS update.Everything is still the same. I wish I did have a digital probe thermometer,then I'd get to the bottom of it. Oh well,for now my temps look good to me.
