Brisbane DTS (Digital Temperature Sensor)

[Caffeinated]

My Brisbane reports all kinds of strange temperatures - in some things, for instance Everest, it reports 59 degrees C, and in CoreTemp 25 degrees C. Obviously it isn't 59 degrees at idle, particularly since the voltage is @ 1.325, and I have 6 fans in my case, not counting the one on the video card, on the HSF assembly and the two on the MB that exhaust the NB heatpipe (two pointed at it - a 120mm directly above it in the case side vent, and a high CFM 80mm blowing over the ram and the side of the heatsink directed toward the exhaust).

It is Orthos stable for hours, and has been folding 24/7 for a week, so it isn't overheating. I read somewhere that AMD has said that the DTS in Brisbane is broken. Is there any truth to that, or is it just my Brisbane that is messed up? I have it overclocked a bit, but I am afraid to agressively OC it because I don't know how hot it is getting.

What about checking your temps by installing SpeedFan? You also can do what I did many years ago and just put your finget on your heatsink from bootup and leave it on there till your processor is running full load. When its running full and you can't stand the pain. Then its to hot, but if you can leave your finger there for a long time, then your temps are fine and the software is reporting incorrect numbers.
