Question Asus Maximus Formula SE weird CPU temps

After I updated (I think it was then) to latest BIOS 0907 from 12/14/2007 my CPU temp sensor readings is screwed up. Reading directly from the BIOS and from PC Probe II inside Vista 64 I get the following:

IDLE: 11C
FULL LOAD (under prime95x2): 26C

Before the update I had my idle temps on the 30's.

CPU: Intel Core2 Duo E6850@3Ghz.
Heatsink: Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme with 120mm Nexus fan.

Anyone with the issues like this after the BIOS update?

I appreciate any help, my chipset temps are bad enough (on the 50's) due to the Ultra 120 tower design and I don't like to add a temp reading problem to this.

Thank you very much.

known problem with pcprobe, vista64 and 0907.

add exactly 15 to your temps for accurate readings.
