does anyone even look at software temp readings?

My AMD 965BE crashes when I'm racing and the temps go up to ohh say 10C on the software @ 4.5GHz/1.5v. I've watched it happen a few times.

Today after remounting last night, software said -2C first thing and it's up to 29C already and climbing, but the block and coolant are at -29C. It don't add up...I am certain the mount is good and only used a tiny amount of Radio Shack grease. I tested squishing it on there 3 times to get the amount right. When the block is removed there is a very thin quarter sized circle of TIM. It looks perfect to me.

The sensor in my chip is just whacked out......there is no way the chip is at 30C when the block is -28C.
