Hi folks,

I've just upgraded to a Asrock 939Dual-SATA2 and AMD64 3700+ CPU. I'm monitoring using SpeedFan and I'm a bit confused about which temperature reading to take notice of.

There are 3 readings for CPU temp, labelled CPU External, CPU Internal, and Core. The CPU Internal reading generally reads about 8 to 10 degrees higher than the Core reading which is 27 degrees as I type this. Which reading really matters?

Cheers,
Bod.
