According to the hard forum thread my processor may or may not be incorrectly recognized by core temp (tjunction 100 instead of 85) I'm trying to figure out what my actual temps are. 75c loaded (as reported by core temp) just doesn't make any sense as this is a 30c difference from what asus probe is reporting, and yes I'm aware that the two programs are taking readings from different places. The heatsink never becomes even warm to the touch either. Also most temps I've seen (core temp compared to probe 2 or otherwise) show differences of around 10-15c which is to be expected and seems reasonable. Can anybody shed some light on this situation. Thanks a lot!
System specs:
e4300
asus p5n-e sli
2 x 1gb kingston value ram
x600xt pci-e
I think coretemp tells the truth, i also have a e4300 idling @ 40c in a 20c room, even tho i have a zalman 9700nt on it who doesnt even get warm to the touch either (ive reseated the heatsink at least 5-6 times) , i think its either due to the cpu being really concave or to the fact that in allendale cores, the IHS is not SOLDERED to the core, on the other hand theres ceramic paste in between. either that or the cpu n heatsink are really concave (imma lap my cpu n heatsink over the weekend.)
