Is Coretemp really the only accurate temp measurement tool we have?? Only Coretemp is much higher than Speedfan or RealTemp. I know this question is Sooooooooooooo old now but I am in two minds about bothering with water cooling. Coretemp says my stock Q6600 is @ 55c the others say 40c My HSF is a thermaltake Ultra 120 lapped with two Noctua 120s on it and AS5. What do I believe???

Thanks
 
Hi, Thanks for helping.

At idle.....

I thought I had two fans on the HS??? TT Ultra 120 Extreme Lapped.

Yes it does stop the HSF from being installed in the conventional way. If there is something I change swap out on the NB I would if rotating the HSF would make a good difference.
 
Ok I have rotated the HSF 90°. Have no idea why I said I couldn't do that before. It just clears the NB HS. Anyway temps have changed by 1°c for the better. So if Coretemp is the only reliable measuring tool we have my idle Q600 is now at 47°c/48°c/48°c/48°c. This is terrible. Some of you have idles in the 20's. My room is actually heated during the day by the PC!!! Current room temp is 20.2°c Airflow temp from top of case is currently 27.1°c. 8800GTS 320 is at 71°c idle.

Oh mean't to add before CPU is currently at 1600MHz BIOS has dropped Multiplier to 6.

Anyone with ideas as to why my idle rig is a cooker?

Thanks

There is a fan at the back of the case sucking and one on the front side of the HSF blowing into the fins. As an experiment I removed the remaining 5 1/4" drive bay blanking covers. With the door of my P182 open temps are at 42 over all four cores. I guess I just have a hot running CPU. Is this feasible? I have cleaned off and reapplied the TIM to no avail.
 
Mobo is at 57c CPU is at 40c according to bios. Everything is on auto except RAM which is on +0.3. VID is 1.325v
