1055t going down to x4

That's my point.
If CPU temp is monitoring the correct CPU temp, your core temp philosophy is redundant.

No, neither have I.

BTW, been meaning to ask how are you finding the 6870 crossfire? Do they run hot? I had a couple of 5770s once any they were aweful.

They run hotter than 5770's, but I've got a two lane gap between them, they generally don't get past 70c in games.

Yes, they could mean either, at the end of the day whichever one it is, it means the overall CPU temp, and that's what the max temp for Phenom II's are measured in, so you can ignore core temps, it's irrelevent.

Um, well as I said before there are two sensors for measuring CPU temps in PhenomII systems. The question is which one is directly comparable to the quoted AMD max temps? If it's the Socket Temp AKA TMPIN0/1 then fine. Carry on using TMPIN0/1 as you are. On the other hand, if it's the CPU Internal temp then you need to take into account that the Socket temp will report a significantly lower temp than the real CPU Internal Temp. So you may well exceed the normal operating temp, especially when Priming an overclock.

Then again, who cares? AMD processors are pretty tough critters and going a few degrees over probably won't hurt it anyway. Probably.

What?, whether it is the socket temp or the internal CPU temp, the CPU/TMPIN1 temp is the correct one to monitor. AMD wouldn't suggest monitoring that temperature if they were well aware that it was the incorrect/inaccurate one to monitor.

Then again, who cares? AMD processors are pretty tough critters and going a few degrees over probably won't hurt it anyway. Probably.

Apparently you care, you were kicking up a fuss about the CPU temp being incorrect and the Core temp being correct with adjusted offsets.

Awe man.... maybe read the thread again?

Ok, I just checked the temperature of my 1055T at the socket with an infrared digital thermometer. Everest and Openhardware Monitor and Asus Probe all show the 'CPU' temp to be 32' C. The thermometer gives a socket reading of 32.4' C.
Conclusive proof I would think that the 'CPU' temp is being read from a sensor in or beneath the socket?

Well it could be with ref to the Socket Temp but I doubt it. Their own monitoring software targets the Internal CPU sensor so that's what they think is important, I'd say.

but amd overdrive also monitors tmpin0/1.

just because it shows "core temp reading in hwmonitor, core temp programs (i know u said it could be labialed wrong)" doesn't mean it's the right one to monitor with phenom II. as i said before amd overdrive isn't only made for phenom II.

amd as said it's the tmpin0/1/cpu reading to monitor.. so why bother arguing which sensor it's connects to.
