Temperature reading in speedfan

[mosdapwn]

I got my q6600 g0 to 3.8Ghz @ 1.50625v and when i check the temperatures on both everest ultimate and speedfan i get completely different readings.

Everest (idle) : 37 31 32 41
Everest (load): 56 47 54 64

SpeedFan (idle) : 22 16 16 25
Speedfan (load) :43 35 39 49

The everest readings seem to be the ones that would make sense for that processor on an average liquid cooling system
but what's up with speedfan , i know alot of people who completely rely on it..

you need to put +15° on speedfan offset.

you can use coretemp as alternative to check cpu temp

True ... 15 degrees is the exact difference .. thank you
