CPU temp?

nuttyprot · 8 Apr 2011 at 23:23

Ok I just finished cleaning my case (dam lot of dust). Anyways I have become a little concerned with my cpu temp.

I have never ever seen cpu temp below my motherboard temp. Is this right?

The cpu is averaging 27-28 idle yet the motherboard is averaging 29-30. Bios is also reporting the same thing. How is the sensor done and could I have damaged it? Before i cleaned it was idle at 33-34.

under load hitting 38-40

CPU is amd Phenom II BE 965

Temps looks fine

The cpu temps will be taken from sensors within the cpu and the motherboard may be on the Northbridge chip.

Can't see the image as it's too small!

Long way to go before your temps become too high!

those temps are absolutely fine mate, 62c is the max TDP of these chips so once its getting to the top end of the 50's then i would start to worry

Yeh the temps seem fine I was just a little worried as I have never seen them go below the temp of the motherboard before and thinking I may have broken the sensor or something when cleaning it.
