Mobo is converting temperatures wrong

I have a ASUS P5AD2 Premium and I just recently upgraded my BIOS to 1010 via the ASUS update utility. I noticed on the AI booster that my processor was now running at 48°C idleing when it usually runs at 25°C idleing. If the CPU temp does get that high, my mobo will spin up the fan to cool it down but it wasn't. It was running at an average fan speed. So, I rebooted and looked into the BIOS. My BIOS was saying 48°C for CPU and then it had a farenheit conversion. It was saying 108°F. That's WAAAY off. 108°F is technically 28°C, not 48. It has the same problem for the mobo temp too.

I'm hoping that the Chinese made a mistake in their math and this is a BIOS bug and will be fixed in BIOS Ver 1011. Does anyone have this problem with 1010? I hope I'm not the only one.

Any help would be appreciated if you know a possible solution.
 
25C idle is unheard off unless your room temperature is below 25 and you're watercooling/PC.

Or your room temp is 18 or below and you're air cooling. 48 seems like the correct temp especially on a prescott

OK, but that doesn't explain why the mobo is converting the tempratures correctly.

The room that my rig is in is usually 65-68F with a stock cooler BTW.
