Do you think my CPU coolers working OK!

if anybodies looking for a cool running cpu look no further! i have found it!

i know its lower than the bios temp by about 9'C but stock cooler this was showing 23'C and this room is at 22'C when photo was took!

cooler was only fitted friday is this what happens when the paste "beds in" because it still got many hours running before that!

Those readings are incorrect, you cannot have a temp lower than your ambient.

Same goes for water cooling, my idle temp is my ambient temp.
 
The core temp gauges on there chips are broken. Some read closer to true than others but generally they are completely unreliable and should be ignored.

Download something like hwmonitor and check the tmpin0, tmpin1, and tmpin2 readings. One is the in socket temp probe, one is the on chip package probe and the third will either be case temp or nothing. I think they vary with manufacturer so you'll have to work out which is which.

The hottest and fastest to react should be chip temp and what you should use on these chips :-)

For reference my 1055t core temp reads 13C when it is actually 54C!

ok found a program HWinfomonitor one of the sensors down as the same as desktop listed as amd cpu thermal sensor, with actual cpu temp coming in at 24'C which lines up with my bios temp which i knew my desktop one in the original post is about 10'C behind, but still a lot lower with this cooler than stock which was up in the late 30's in bios.
 
The main reason is because you had Cool'N'Quiet enabled so when the system is idle it reduces the speed to save power. I can get my 965BE to 20*c if I reset the bios and enable Cool'N'Quiet. That is why your system was at 800MHz (200*4).
 
i do have cool and quiet enables and yes its the latest bios installed, i was just comparing this to the original temps i was getting on this sensor.

Actually I think I'm wrong on this. Now I'm home I ran a quick test and it is 11C idle and shows a 17C increase to max load. The tmpin1 sensor showed a 16C increase.

It may actually be reading the swings well enough and just be reading 15C below actual. Will have to run some more exhaustive tests to be sure.
 
i just tested it, it does seem to be comparable just 10-12'C out, it must come from a different sensor, just a warning HWinfo32 monitor made windows media player crash and lose all sound alltogether and done strange things like switch to headphones automatically, very strange happenings on that one so its now gone lol!

Yup, the "core" sensor is part of the silicon wafer. The closest properly working sensor is one that I believe is mounted on the chip somewhere under the heat spreader

Not good :( Can't say I've had any problems with it.
 
got it more accurate with core temp now, in the setting you can put an offset so i offset it 12 and it now reads same as hwinfo monitor so we got there in the end ;)
