Conflicting Temp Readings

[brendano257]

So I got GPU-Z to look at all the features of my graphics card ( PNY 8800 GT @ 630,1575,930 ) and when I saw the temp reading it gave me so I decided to open Nvidia Monitor to look and this is what I got.

I'm just wondering which one is right, it doesn't really matter, because either is fine with me. I've had the card running fine OC'd for 2 weeks, and running w/o problems since Christmas.

I'm not the only one. I get about an 8'c difference also.

I have a Gainward 8800GT Golden Sample.

I think 8800GT has two sensors, one reads GPU core temp and the other reads GPU ambient temp which should be about ten degrees lower than the core temp.
