are you sure you selected exactly the right mobo and bios revision in the mobo wizard on mbm5? also, on my mobo, some of the old bios versions gave temps that were like 10"C off!! TEN! so make sure you've got the latest bios and mbm5 is setup for your mobo correctly... maybe get a second opinion from SpeedFan and whatever comes as standard with your mobo... possibly check the hardware monitor in the bios itself to see if they are the same in there...
what psu you got cos i can't see it in your sig...

They look better today... They are all under, but that 5V Rail is not pretty... and 3 proggies tell me it sucks not just MBM5:
This is an Antec True480. I was told this was the PSU to get : ( It's only 2 months old too

I did, now I have later than the latest BIOS from Giga-Byte. I don't know what the hizee they are thinking...... fro sheezy my nizzle fizzle.
My BIOS is version "F8" and so I went to check if there was an F9 and check it out... They have rolled it back and now "F7" appears to be the latest one... huh?

I'm hitting the same voltages with that PSU just running my2500+ at 2.2 and running F@H. I've had my Antec 480 for a 1 year or so now.

dude! they rolled back my bios too! i wish they'd say why.. it wasn't a beta release either... just, one day 5.7... then a while later 5.6 is the latest, and 5.6 came out last year!!!
what the heck?!

@ the latest pic comments... the TruePower 480's supposed to be the cleanest 480W class psu you can get (isn't it?) so i dunno, maybe voltage isn't as important as the super-clean current it provides... i dunno, i ain't no electro-mathematician!

hehe. oh well, i guess as long as my comp runs well who cares what it says. anyway, i emailed giggly tyte. and i told them about this, and about your 5.7 missing too.
maybe they have some electro-mathemeticians that can help us since nobody here seems to be one!!!

got a response from GigaByte, who's English speaking tech suuport team needs to upgrade it's BIOS.
Answer : Hello Sir Or Mada,
Yes, there are issue on F8 bios, please use F7 bios.
HHAHA. I know I'm a sir, but how do I know if I'm a "Mada" or not. But anyway. Hopefully that issue that there are in F8 bios gets fixed.

hmm... i may have to revert to the custom bios that is based on the 5.6 official bios for my mobo if that's why they remove them
i guess it's the only reason they would really
