wich temp readings are correct?

[flash_mz]

hey guys.. i have a bit of a problem

my bios says 30 degrees C, nvidia monitor also says 30 degrees C but Everest and coretemp say diferent, they say 48..

im using :

core 2 quad 6600 @ stock downvolted to 1.13750v
Asus P5n32E-SLI PLUS
2x1GB Corsair XMS2 ddr2 800MHz

my question is: which reading should i trust???


ahhh i almost forgot.... i did an overclock to 3.0GHz voltage at 1.2750 and the temps in the bios where 39 (idle) and wouldn't pass 60 (load)... but everest and core temp showed much higher temps... amnd if it helps... m bios version is 1003

this is odd since i'm using a stock cooler :S:S:S the temps on my bios are really low i think

i would REaLLY appreciate it if you could help me

Try realtemp. In my experience, it seems the most reliable

Core Temp is better than real temp for Core 2 Quads.

Use core temp.

i use coretemp... but the problem to me is... should i really trust core temp or should i trust the BIOS temps??

Use Real Temp. Core Temp sensors read the temperatures on average 5 degrees higher across all cores at any given time. I took a screenshot with both programs open and this is what it reads:

Core Temp: 35 35 31 34
Real Temp: 30 30 26 29
