Core Temp 0.96.1 reading 20 deg hotter than everything else!?

[o0naw0o]

Hi I posted this thread earlier today which Melbourne720 kindly replied to:

http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17834659

CoreTemp is showing my ambient temprature at around 50-60 degrees and EVERYTHING ELSE (BIOS, ASUS Probe, ASUS AI, FanSpeed & NVidia Temp) is showing it around 30-40 degrees.

When I load the CPU's CoreTemp reaches tempartues or 120+ degrees and EVERYTHING ELSE around 75-85.

I have overclocked my QX6700 to 3.2GHz and have voltage settings as Auto in BIOS.

My system/mobo tempratue is around 30 degrees.

I have tried re-seating the BigTyp CPU cooler and opening the side of my case makes no real differece to the tempratues.

Even running my BigTyp at max rpm and turning my Antec case fans up to max only makes 1-2 degrees difference.

Anyone having this problem or can you help me.

Im too scared to try SP2004 on all cores for any length of time when its reporting 120 degrees

Thanks

p.s. what are acceptable ambient/stress tempratures anyhow??

Hi,

Thanks for replying.

Unfortunately, I was too impatient and ended up selling my QX6700 and my BigTyp cpu cooler and with *** money I have purchased a low VID G0 stepping Q6600 and a Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme cpu cooler, a Thermalright 8800 cooler and some X23 thermal compound too

I have also picked up a 780i mobo and a E6600 so I intend to play around and see what kind of oc I can get.

Again tahnks for replying.
