Hello
I've been running a 4.2ghz overclock on my 6100 for a while and it's not quite doing it for the game Planetside 2. So I've been wanting to push it a bit further but I've hit a snag.
My motherboard, Biostar TA99FXE, has a dual digit POST/Temperature readout that I use to check my temps at a glance. The problem is in bios under the temp section it shows a much higher temperature, 10-12c, than what's shown in the digital readout.
To simplify it... My system idles at 19-21c according to the mobo readout, software says idle is 11-14c with intermittent jumps to 20s, bios reports idle of 29-30c.
Which of these numbers do I trust? I obviously can't see the bios temperature report in the OS so do I just take the number I'm given by the other sources and add the difference onto it?
Thanks to whoever can help clear this up for me.
