Dear Friends
I bought last week an GA-990FXA-UD3, and I mount that in my system (had an MSI 990FXA-GD65 v1.2). It have the last Bios (FE).
As you can see in the attachment, the temperatures are 23 in system and 21 in CPU.
Ok, is very best, you can say!
But, I have two identical systems, only with different motherboards (and more one of a friend) and the values are 30 for system and 35/40 for CPU.
If a make litle overclck (in the multiplier) the temperature values are identical.
It seems to me there is a problem with the bios, or not?
Thank You

If their is a problem it isnt with bios but the way easy tune is reporting it. Had a simular problem and found easy tune was reporting it backwards that system was the cpu and the cpu temp was actually the system. That was a while ago and i use a different program to monitor with now when i need to.
Havent needed to in a while because my case is so cool with the upgrades i made that temps are no longer a worry.

In bios "hardwre monitor" the values are the same. I Think is a bios problem. I send a mensage for gigabyte suport.

This chipset naturally runs hot. Just beause Asus have used a more efficient heatsink does not mean the Gigabyte is faulty. This chipset can go safely to 80C with a max of 86C.

1 - I am not ignorant of the subject (I am a systems engineer)
2 - have not spoken to Asus. Moreover, I do not buy Asus products (I have reason to do so)
3 - I have 2 MSI 990FXA-GD65 motherboads, and 1 from a friend of mine (990-FXA-GD80) and in the beginning had the same problem. Later MSI solved the problem after updating the BIOS.
4 - Clearly 20 degrees of temperature is impossible.
5 - in Bios (hardware monitor) and using other software (eg SiSoftware, CPU-Z, etc.) values are the same.
6 - Or the motherboard sensors are faulty, or there is a problem with the development of bios.
Or not?

It wouldn't surprise me if your bios is buggy. My GA-990FXA-UD7 bios is buggy. Even my GV-R795WF3-3GD video card has buggy bios.
Gigabyte has been dropping the ball.

Might not be faulty but is VASTLY inferior in every single aspect.
One would think the for the price they would at least use nuts, bolts and washers instead of crappy cheap plastic push-pins like in entry-level motherboards from 2005 ¬¬.
@jjrcrispim
Use the last stable version of your BIOS. Gigabyte BIOS are usually buggy lately.
And also, check your temps with http://openhardwaremonitor.org/ (http://openhardwaremonitor.org/)

thank you Tiki
I have the last bios in the board
With open hardware monitor, the values are the same

Gygayte say there are a problem with that motherboard:
