Using eLEET, when my SR-2 is under load (such as running Linx), I've noticed that the CPU0 PWM temperature reading varies considerably.  For example, it can bounce from, say, 50 to 75 and then back to 50.  As the load continues, both numbers trend up and it spends more time reporting the higher number (maxing out at around 85).  Within 4 or 5 seconds after the load is removed, the reported temp drops back to the lower number and stays there.
 
I'm running a single X5650, not OC'd, with 6 * 4 = 24GB ECC RAM.
 
Any idea what's going on here?  A bad sensor, maybe?

    I'm having the exact same problem. Under full load cpu0pwm  hits 75C then drops back to high 40s a second or two after load has been removed. I doubt its an air flow problem. I've got a moutain mods pinnacle 24 case. I've to 5 fans pumping air into the case and 4 venting. Is anybody else having this issue?
