on my c2d rig, running speedfan i have entries for:
Label - CHIP
CPU - Winbond W83627DHG
Core 0 - INTEL CORE
Core 1 - INTEL CORE

which one(s) should i be using to monitor CPU temp? im thinking core0/1 as its taken directly from the cpu if im understanding that right?

my "CPU" temp seems to match my system temp (currently 37C) and my core temps are currently 28C.
 
I usually find Speedfan a bit hit and miss, usually miss in my experience on telling the correct information. Voltages were something stupid like 20v on the 5v rail and temps were in the 100s. :confused:

Best thing to do though is download coretemp and compare the temperatures and see which is correct. :)
 
heh none were the same as coretemp :)

coretemp = 48C
speedfan CPU = 44C
speedfan core0/1 = 35C

thank god im going to get the ninja installed tomorrow!

then again its got my multipler as 449x6 whereas i know its 300x9..
