Temps - Which Is Correct

[bluetech]

DS3 Mobo - E4300 @ 2.7GHz



Which is giving back the correct temparature and what shold I keep it below?

btw, Temps were just 7 degrees c lower before overclock

Thanks Guys!

edit : I have set BIOS to alarm @ 60 degrees C, only when speedfan hits this does the alarm go off (invoked using TAT) which makes me think that apeedfan is the correct one? Or is there a logical reason for this?

You need load temps not idle

You need load temps not idle

I know, I was just wondering which temp monitoring program was correct. TAT and CoreTemp state 10 degrees C higher than SpeedFan. But the BIOS alarm (set @ 60 degees c) dosent go off when TAT and Coretamp are @ 60, but it does when SpeedFan hits 60.


Thanks, I will be posting a under load temps in the "Final" overclock

EDIT: A screen shot raken not to long back with SpeedFan... I just dont know if it is correct as TAT and CoreTemp quote 10 Degrees higher



EDIT2: Just found this thread

http://www.alcpu.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=836&sid=78d61167102064221f8a4e33e1a1e7ab

where "The Coolest" (site admin) quotes the following:

I don't really understand this either.
But from what I've seen TAT seems to usually read 15C over the others.
Basically TAT, for whatever reason, thinks that E4300 has a Tjunction of 100C. I don't know if that is right or wrong, as the program is not really up to date. CPUID of 6F2 could be accidently cosidered as an ES chip or something of that sort and therefore it displays calculates temperatures from 100C Tjunction.

EDIT3:

Getting close to the answer. Have a look here:

Some users also may not know that C2D's feature 3 sensors at 2 different temperatures; a single on-die Tcase sensor (between the cores), and dual Tjunction sensors (one within each core). Consequently, there is much confusion regarding specifications, calibration offsets and test methods, so results can be difficult to decipher and compare.

Desktop C2D's = 85c
Ambient Temperature = 22c
Idle to Load Delta Max = 25c
Tcase + 15c = Tjunction
Thermal Sensor Accuracy = +/-1c
