Who is Wrong?

Excuse my English...
I have one Radeon 9800Pro (R360 Core) modded 9800XT (398/351 - i don't have using the force, yet).
The ATITool is monitoring the core temp from card, but in some moments they presents stranges temps registers... see log:
2004-11-21 22:38:39 ATITool v0.0.22 started.
2004-11-21 22:38:39 Detected GPU Chip: R360 (4E4A), 8 Pipelines, 128 MB
2004-11-21 22:38:39 Temperature monitoring: LM63 detected
2004-11-21 22:38:39 Temperature: GPU: 75.5°C GPU environment: 52.0°C
...
2004-11-21 22:42:39 Temperature: GPU: 75.0°C GPU environment: 52.0°C
2004-11-21 22:42:49 Temperature: GPU: 75.0°C GPU environment: 52.0°C
2004-11-21 22:42:59 Temperature: GPU: 20.1°C GPU environment: 52.0°C
2004-11-21 22:43:09 Temperature: GPU: 75.3°C GPU environment: 51.0°C

They temps (20º)are present in both card's configuration (9800pro BIOS /9800XT BIOS).
It's is a ATITool BUG?
And about temp monitors see image:

Who is wrong? EVEREST(55ºC) or ATITool(75ºC)?

Thanks

the temp sensor on the 9800 pro is under the gpu chip and not inside it .. to get around this ati adds 20°c in overdrive to the measured temperature to be closer to the real core temperature.. atitool is doing the same .. everest isnt doing that so the gpu temperature is 20°c lower.. not a bug just different ways to present the measured temperature

Thanks Wizzard... :)
But about ATITool's temp log?
"2004-11-21 22:42:49 Temperature: GPU: 75.0°C GPU environment: 52.0°C
2004-11-21 22:42:59 Temperature: GPU: 20.1°C GPU environment: 52.0°C
2004-11-21 22:43:09 Temperature: GPU: 75.3°C GPU environment: 51.0°C"
This is a simple error from sensor?

It's a bug with ATItool.

It's a bug with ATItool.

All right.
Then i'm going to test more times....

the single 20° reading is a bug in atitool ... happens sometimes .. i tried to filter those values out .. does this happen with 0.0.23 beta 9 too?
