man i am confused ! At load for 2hrs. Speedfan gives me 4 temps- temp 1-42c temp 2-62c temp 3-55 core-39c But when i check AMD Overdrive at load i see one temp and it says 49c. Which one do i use for an accurate reading? I have my Phenom II720 oc'ed to 3.5Mhz with just the multiplier bumped to 17.5. Any ideas ? Anyone ?

none of them you should use your bios temp readings for accurate readings or cpuid but bois is the most accurate

temp 1 on speedfan is the CPU but the core temps are usually about 5 degrees above the CPU temps
