Temperature difference: heatsink & cpu

I'm confused as to what your actually asking. You just want to know the average temp difference between the CPU core or case and the heat sink?

I would think that if your CPU cooler is properly mounted than what ever the difference between your sink temp (laser temp device?) and what the BIOS reports is your answer.

Maybe thermal compound used would alter the average, as would CPU type (C2, heatium 4, Athlon).

Are you trying to decided if your cooler is working sufficiently?

I'm interested to know the difference between the base of the heat sink to "Any" of the on board sensors that you monitor with software like coretemp or whatever.

"I would think that if your CPU cooler is properly mounted than what ever the difference between your sink temp (laser temp device?) and what the BIOS reports is your answer. "

Yep, I can obtain this on my machine, but I'm interesting in what the 'typical' is, in other words, what type of numbers are other people getting. [Not to mention I have E8500, and the monitor software readings are all over the place.]

Well one of the reason is because there is this fan controller display unit that came with the case I have. It has a few temperature probes. There is this alarm function on it I would like to utilize. So I have to set what temperature it should "start beeping". So, I want to know what the correlation between something I can measure with my temperature probe vs. the onboard sensor cpu uses to do the throttling and such. In example, IF** the cores run 15 degrees hotter, I would set the alarm to go off.. say (70-15) 55 degrees.

That makes more sense. If I had a laser temp guage I'd help you out.

Are you planning on putting the probe on the heat sink, and not under it?
