core temps one thing the speed fan says different well i dont know but the water block doesn't get very hot when you touch it but its still very good temps
sorry for the big pic
in speedfan , temp 2 is the overall cpu temp. which is the one u should be looking at.
heres mine, on air cooler , overclocked to 3.8ghz, 2.6ghz nb. under load is about 46-48c

just another question guys should my cooler for the CPU be blowing up or down ? I have Lancool Case k58, and my Power supply is at the bottom there is no side panel fan just one at the back and one at the front of the case. with vents on top of the case.
thanks ant.
thanks ant.

Why is mine 40c idle and 60c under load then ?
I hate PC's i have just built this computer and i am now stressing out about temperatures.
Can some one advice on a better cooler than my Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro v2 i find this hard to get on and off too.
im using a Thermalright Ultra-120A with 2 fans
Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme with a fan.

Even 40 degrees is a bit excessive for this chip. I'm using a Skeleton Case with a Scythe Zipang 2 cooler, and I don't think the temperature has been above 40 during a gaming session according to my temp monitor. Am yet to run Prime95 on it as it's a fairly new build. Chuck me an email Hindle if you're interested in my facts and figures.

do we think my Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro v2 is my what's causing my temps ?
My GFX card is high too though at 40-44 idle and 85+ under load

Mine idles at 33-34c using the stock cooler!
Might stick my Coolermaster TX2 on it if I can find some thermal paste.

@ stock my 955 is about 33c 1.350v
overclocked @ 3.7Ghz with about 1.4v and it sits @ 38c and 53c load.
I am using the H50 Waterkit, but I wouldnt want mine going past 55c as its just excessive. Ive read reports of cpu shutting down in the mid 70's tho but 60 would deffently be the max I would go.

Hey, sorry to bring back a oldish thread but I just want to confirm this because I am a little confused.
If you look at this screenshot you can see in Everest and Easytune that they both show a different CPU temp as to what CoreTemp is displaying.
Are you 100% sure that I am supposed to follow this temp, rather than the CPU Cores temps? Where exactly is this sensor located anyway? How do I know how accurate it is -- Meaning, if this 'overall' CPU temp goes to 60c while the cores are at 66c, how do I know this isn't just some sensor on the motherboard and I am actually damaging my CPU? I'm asking basically, how do you know that 1) this sensor is accurate and is 100% meant to be what we are supposed to monitor, and 2) how do you know the 62c max temp is for tcase?
I realise the AMD rep said to follow the overall temp but I am still not convinced, can you lay it out for me

CPU #x is typically a core not the cpu temp, try running this http://www.cpuid.com/hwmonitor.php instead of core temp. It's easier to read/intemperate.
Okay I just tried it, but it made me even more confused!
Basically all I am getting is Core temps from that. I am getting too many conflicting answers lol, some people are telling me to monitor the core temps while others (and that AMD rep that Garreth emailed) are saying to monitor the -overall- CPU temp ><

Yes that's my fault for posting half asleep 
Core temps are from the chips internal sensors, the overall temp is measured just off the chip by a motherboard sensor beneath it. Most have 2, one for cpu and one for system temp, but yours has three. Everest lists the cpu as cpu, system as motherboard, not sure what the third cupid is listing is.
Anyway, the numbers in that blue box match them and 50c is quite normal.

Ahh okay, I get it now. Thanks
Well, I know that the max temp specified by AMD for this CPU (being 62c) is referring to tcase and NOT core temps, so I am guessing it's correct to monitor the temp labeled CPU in the blue box, and to ignore the core temps.
Thank you for the help
