Running a core 2 quad (q9300), and been having an issue with the temperature.
Up untill this evening, I had been running a high CPU temperature (mid-high 40* c idle) but it's recently dropped to 29-31* c (idle). I figure this would have a positive effect on my CPU cores, but they read just as high as before the drop. 55-56* c.
Asus AI Suite, as well as speed fan and BIOs all read low 30* c, with a motherboard temp of 39-41* c. And core temp is reading high temp cores. I'm really at a loss for why my cores are so high, my MB is higher than I would preffer, but my CPU is reading lower than all the other temps.
Is there a sensor gone on my MB that fails to read the right CPU temp? Or is this acurate? Advice, warnings, anything would be helpful.
