I'm running smartguardian and MBM at the same time, the temperature seems identical to me.

Is your readings off by alot or just a few degrees?

EDIT:

Ive tried using smartfan and MBM 5 and they all give the same reading. Could it be just the MOBO puts the CPU on high during post or maybe the bios is wrong?

There is about a 5-8c difference between BIOS and these software apps.

Its always good to get the laterest BIOS. And you might be right Addiarmadar, the fan speed controller under BIOS does have different set up as its under windows.

Look like IM using 2.2 but the Oskar Bios are for the SLI-D while my mobo is SLI-DR.
