Think my CPU Temp gauge is broken, how critical?

Hi all

recently did a self build,

never had to apply thermal compond before so was worried about fitting correctly, as u can imagine i was interested to check out my temps.

the board temp is at 35 degrees however my cpu temp is showing as 18-19 degrees regardless of how long i have had the pc running,

now i know the TT is a great cooler but i dont think its that good!

so anyway i can fix the temp gauge? if nto how vital is it? obviously i dont know if the cpu is overheating or what average temps it reaching at the moment?

Thanks all

how? i ordered it off ocuk bout 2 weeks ago? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-065-AN

to measure the temps i have used both the easy tune software that came with the mobo (which has a helth page that shows the temps)

and also in the bios both show the same temps

Heh sorry - forgot about the Antec Nine-hundred case, and thought you mean't the P900 :p

Onto your problem... try using coretemp :)
 
ah sorry i didnt realise there was more than one with the 900 in the name when i did my sig, yeah it is definatly the nine hundred gaming case sorry for the confusion, will give that prog a try and see what it comes up with

thanks
 
ok ran core temp program it shows three temps


Tjunction 85 degrees

core 1 : 21 degrees
core 2 : 23 degrees

now if these r correct im more than happy with the 21 n 22 but what the hell the Tjunction because 85 degrees sounds insane!

Edit** found out what Tjuction is so thats cool, does the 22 n 23 sounds like the temp thing is getting a true reading?

Blimey I'm surprised on that. Great temps for the CPU - the Tjunction temp is normal, but the CPU temp does still sound quite cool...
 
given that the main board temp is showing at around 34 degrees is it possible that the cpu's can be so much lower? or is it more likely that the temp sensor is still playing up?

thanks

heh, are you based in the arctic or something? absolutley amazing temps dude, thought mine were good :eek:

Try fully loading the cpu and see what temps it goes to.. (can do this on TAT, click start next to the 'workload level' - make sure both workload levels are at 100%, then post a screenshot as you did before with them bot at 100% after 10 mins or so)
 
Aye, 45c sounds about spot on.. if those temps were any cooler, i may have had to come round and rob you...
 
brill cheers for the input guys.

wasnt sure if i was going to overclock or not but i didnt want to touch anything untill i knew that the temps were ok.

(u wouldnt beleive how stressed i was applin the artic silver)

thanks again
