temperature differences

[fuzen]

I'm having a little dilemma with fully recognizing my cpu temps. Each program I run gives me different temps, although 2 are relatively close.

CPU: e6750 @ 3.2ghz

Program 1: CoreTemp .95 (Idle temps)
Tjunction: 85c
Core #0: 20c
Core #1: 19c
- Est. average idle temps

Program 2: CoreTemp .96.1 (idle temps)
Tjunction: 100c
Core #0: 35c
Core #1: 33c
- Est. average temps from 96.1

Program 3: TAT 2.05 2006
Tjunction: N/A
Core #0: 22c
Core #1: 20c
-------------------------------
As you can see from the temps, coretemp 96.1 shows a great leap in temps from the previous version of coretemp and also TAT. I'm not sure why this is :/

Is there a more reliable way to determine actual cpu temp. at desktop and/or is there possible something giving me different temp. readins? Any help is appreciated!

I don't trust TAT - when I boot up my system it says 12C even though the room is at 23C and as we all know fans cannot cool a device to below fan air temperature. Stick with the newest Core Temp.

Might want to try speedfan.
