im confused???

[Angelos_n]

Speedfan seems to think my temps idle are 35 and load are 45 whilst coretemp said my idle temps are 50-55 and load are 60-65, but i just reseated the heatsink etc.. and it feels warm but not that hot, feels around 30 id say, is coretemp telling me my processor is that hot or do you, my bios agrees with speedfan as well as everest, but is coretemp right and my cpu is overheating, im scared as its a very expensive cpu, this is the second time ive reseated it with no difference in temps according to coretemp whilst speedfan seems to think its gotten a bit colder by about 2 degrees. ive reseated it twice with coretemp saying exactly the same thing both times, im 100% positive i seated it corectly both times as speedfan doesnt say its that hot. please help, should i buy a new cooler or what, my current cooler is cooler master gemini 2 with 2 silent eagle 1000rpm fans on it

Go with whatever matches the BIOS temps.

The BIOS reads the temperature from a sensor under the CPU and Speedfan does the same. This can be as much as 15C low. Coretemp reads the on-CPU sensors so is accurate. Now, which one would you go with? (Hint: ns400r is wrong.)
But your CPU is not overheating - 65C under load is not a problem. If it gets too hot i.e. over 85C it will shut down by itself anyway and you can probably set a maximum temperature in the BIOS to tweak this. Have a look at the airflow through your case before you start looking for a new HSF as it can often be improved for much less than a top-end HSF.

Nope, Speedfan also reads the on die temp sensors. It can read the other CPU sensor too.
