Temps accurate?

I have a c2d e4300, and its on the stock cooler...

Asusprobe is reading cpu at 26 degrees..

is that about right for these chips? if so.. how do i overclock this puppy

That seems quite low, how long has the computer been on? What temperature does it hit under load?

computer has been on for about 30 mins i guess. what can i use to put it under load for a bit?

Motherboard reading is showing 37 degrees lol

Coretemp will show both the actual core temperatures believe it or not

What you're seeing is just the temp sensor on the motherboard.

Run Prime95 on both cores for some full load

Gonna give prime a shot tomorrow.

ive upped the FSB and stuff, and the cpu is now at 2.4ghz, and the temp is showing 25 degrees now in general internet browsing lol.

Could be good fun overclocking this, although i doubt these temps are right
