Cpu Temp Confusion

Sleeve · 10 Jan 2011 at 19:02

Speedfan reads CPU at 21c, Aida64 reads both cores at 20c and BIOS reads CPU at 32/33 on startup.

Don't know which to believe???

Are there any other temp programs i can test?

Just tried Core Temp and that also says 21c

Im not complaining, but it just seems a little low for the setup i've got...

It might be a bit different for me because I got a different processor, but I found that SpeedFan cpu temp readings are 10C below actual temp.

Speedfan, Coretemp and Aida64 are already roughly the same CPU temp. SO im guessing they must be correct, but like i say, BIOS says 33ish on startup...

When you're in the bios there is no power saving features on (Speedstep/C&Q) and the cpu isn't idling. Therefore itll run a little warmer in the bios.
