GPU and CPU temperatures

I use SpeedFan and CPU Wizard to monitor my temperatures in Windows XP. My GPU and CPU temp readings are always the exact same, like they are bound together.

They idle around 30 degrees Celsius but they reach 72 degrees during a session of Crisis 1.

My CPU is an e7500 and and my GPU is a 560 ti on a Gigabyte G41MT-S2PT rev 2.1 mobo.

I am using an after market heat sink rated for 130 watt CPU. It is pretty big and has 3 U shaped copper heat pipes with a 120 mm fan. I used the stock grease that came on the base of the cooler.

My question is why are the temperatures reading the exact same? Even the speed fan graph is line for line on the GPU and Core temps. Also the core0 and core1 temps are stuck at 42 and 41 degrees at all times, as if they were frozen there.

Any information would be much appreciated.


I forgot to add some information. I set an alarm in my bios to ring if the CPU reaches 60 degrees Celsius and it has not rang at all. Also i wanted to add that I think that 70 degrees sounds too high for a stock e7500 at 2.93 GHz and 1.25 VCore when under load.

Thanks for the speedy reply man :D

Sorry I don't know how to take a screen shot :(. But here are the temperature reading in HWmonitor(non install version 32-bit). In degrees Celsius the reading are:

TMPIN0 Value -54 Min -54 Max -54

TMPIN1 Value -1 Min -1 Max -1

TMPIN2 Value 17 Min 16 Max 21

The room with the PC has lousy heating so ambient temperature does reach 14 or 15 Degrees Celsius. :lol:


Under the actual CPU temperatures it reads:

Core#0 Value 42 Min 42 Max 42

Core#1 Value 41 Min 41 Max 41 These are the unchanging values mentions earlier.


Under something called ST3500418AS the temps are:

Assembly Value 27 Min 27 Max 28

Air Flow Value 27 Min 27 Max 28


And finally the GPU temperatures are:

TMPIN0 Value 28 Min 27 Max 29

The GPU temperature under Value matches the Core and GPU temperatures in SpeedFan in real time. The max temperature is so low because the PC has been under light load as of the this posting.

Also my heat sink always feels cool even when the CPU is reported as 70 degrees

I used HWinfo32 non install version. In one screen there were two green OKs for core0 and core1 for ThermMon and in the Sensor page under e7500 DTS the temperatures are all stuck at 41 and 42 degrees Celsius and they never change as mentioned earlier. Could a thermal sensor be broken or something and are there any consequences for it not working?

The ST3500418AS readings are your hard drive:)
I think you might have a faulty CPU sensor as the results haven't changed for the core temperatures. They should be different like mine for the CPU.

Ya thanks a lot Jay2577. I guess it is a broken sensor or something... and maybe the programs are reading Core from the GPU. Also would the CPU sensor that is faulty be on the motherboard which can still be returned for a few more days :D, or is the sensor in the actual CPU case? I also wonder if you play inside a refrigerator or something cause those are low temps!!

As it is the core temperature i am guessing it's the sensor in the CPU but i am not certain.
I don't play inside a fridge but i live in the UK and it's cold here as i like my bedroom window open.
I also have 4 x 12cm case fans and a massive heatsink on my CPU with a 14cm fan attached to it:D
