None of them are around 46-50C except the case/board temperature which is a
separate entity and is ~40C, correctly reported in the BIOS as well as
software. As for AIDA32, it has reported correct temps in the past, but I
loaded Everest anyway, and the result is the same. The puzzling thing is
that all these readings would correspond typically to one and the same
sensor; wouldn't they? This difference is extremely odd. One of my geek
friends suggested re-flashing it and changing the battery. I re-flashed,
but the result is the same. The only thing left to do would be to change
the battery - But FWIW the computer keeps good time and shows no signs of
failure on that part.

I'll can attach a screenshot of the MBM readings if it helps.
