    Is my video card causing wrong cpu temp reading?

    At normal idle temp my system is running around 50c, that is using intel stock cpu fan and 3 120 case fans. Case fan temp is around 51 at all times

    When running my cpu at 100% temp will hit 100c. The heat sink is warm to the touch and not hot as would be expected at that high of temp. So am i getting wrong reading or for some reason my video card is causing the temp to show hotter than it's really is as 4870x2 runs super hot? Also I can't hear cpu fan really speeding up like I can when system first starts. So what could be going on?



    Specs I7 920(not oc), ati 4870x2(not oc), 6gb pc 1600 ram. Asus p6t delux v2, COOLER MASTER RC-690-KKN1 mid tower case, 2-1tb had drive edit:Running win 7
