Hi there
I think I have about had a heart attack. I overclocked my cpu to 3.6Ghz, prime 95 registered a top temperature of 49C in CPUID Hardware monitor and once I set the offset in Coretemp reads with 1C of HW Monitor and it also read top temp of 49C. I set the alarm on coretemp to come on at 49 as I thought nothing would get my temps high like Prime 95 and if something did, could be something wrong.
Anyway, playing F1 2010 I had stutter problem so I reset CPU to standard just to be sure it wasn't overclock. I played a couple of hours of F1 with no problems in game etc but just noticed my temp showing in HWMonitor
Thats got to be wrong surely because as bad as core temp is at reading these chips, with the offset inplace it matches under prime but highest it recorded was 47. Only thing I can think of is that my graphics card was in the 80C's so it added to the cpu getting hot (even though my h50 draws cooler air into the case) Surely also if went that high over temps I should have dead chip by now?
