speed fan temps r they right?

[knockonwood]

i have just started to learn to overclock my cpu /board without altering the voltages intel badaxe 2 and q6600.

when i open speedfan my temps appear quite low at stock i have them as low as 12 - 14 on all cores but when i open occt the temps displayed are a lot higher even before i load it

is speedfan accurate ? or occt or am i missing something

thanks

on what cooling ? air/water etc ?

Speedfan shows the incorrect temps for me (always too low), and OCCT is correct, so I'd say no - your speedfan temps arent right.

Like Meronem said, what cooling do you have?

Try Coretemp. That's the best one to rely on IMO.
