Just got some feedback from VIA, Im a little afraid of what the heat can do to my mobo in my trunk:

Actually, Motherboard Monitor does not correctly measure our EPIA’s temperature. So, we do not really recommend it for reference temperature reading.

So with MBM5 it tells me my cpu goes really high when i play mp3's dvd etc. My CPU readings can go up to like 145 degrees farenheit. But according to VIA they said it all boils down to the temperature inside of the case i guess.

The strange thing is, my CPU temp can jump up/down at least 15degrees in like seconds. It is weird. I highly doubt it can get cooled or heated that quick...

Any feedback would be appreciated!
