core temps different temps per program

[vance1977]

Guys could you tell me why in real temp i have temps for my q6600 core 1 28c core 2 28c core 3 23c and core 4 25c and in cpuid hardware moniter they are reading 43c 43c 40c and 38c.
what would give the different readings as i am running a watercooling system i have the themaltake kandalf case cooling the cpu with a 3 fan rad so im guessing the idle temps would be the lower figure on real temp.
any ideas why i would get the different readings.

Try core temp and see how that ways up, I would say cpuid hardware monitor is more believable than real temp

check intel website or manual for your TJ Max and then you will know which is right i suppose. You can also check BIOS temps, these are always right unless the sensors are borked.

I have temp readings probs with a e6300 and a ga-p31-ds3l and af7pro.

Bios and easytune 5 pro give similair readings, but coretemp, real temp and speedfan give readings approx 9-10 c hotter .

How trustable are bios readings? It's a brand new board btw.
Regards.

I always base my temps of coretemp.
As most people tend to say its the best one.
Anyone else got thoughts on this ?
