guys

can anyone explain the difference in temps im getting between bios and in windows. seems a bit weird that they are so much lower in windows. (using Stock heat sink and no overclock)

Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz
Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz
MSI P67A-GD53 Intel P67 (Socket 1155)

anyway

Bios

CPU Temp - 50 deg
SYS Temp - 32 deg
CPU Fan 2002 rpm


Windows

CPU Temp - 34 deg
SYS Temp - 32 deg

Core Temp

Core temp - C0 - 26 deg
Core temp - C1 - 28 deg
Core temp - C2 - 29 deg
Core temp - C3 - 28 deg

these core temps just look way too low

its the stock cooler, just find it strange its so high in bios.

another thing i dont understand is, that the cpu is not overclocked (3.3ghz) but during a game i looked at the core speed which was 3500mhz.

i know im a bit of a newb with this, but am i going mad or is there something wrong here?

The speed increase could be Turbo kicking in.

This, on the sandybridges they use the turbo clock if your say playing a game, it can overclock itself too 3.7 I believe it is.. You might notice it drop to 1500mz too when it's just idle. It's all good though don't worry about it :-)

This.

The CPU runs at full pelt until it establishes idle mode when the OS is loaded. This is because power saving modes aren't enabled at this stage of the boot process. EIST for example, requires the OS ( Read here ) or C1E.

You can see in here that the power management is part of the BIOS boot sequence. This is obviously after the set-up process.

In a nutshell, I would say your system looks fine.
