Too cool?

Got an i5 at stock, in an antec 1200 with side pannel off atm. Using magahalems with 2 apaches in push pull. Getting like 15 Degrees idle and about 40 at 100% load, do these temps seem too low to be true? Using core temp and real temp both confirm it, however in hardware monitor in the bios temps are 30 i think, so maybe that is more accurate?

Room is pretty cool, but dont have a thermometer to hand, any way i could read temps more accurately?

Using most recent versions of Real Temp and Core Temp i can find, core temp is 0.99.5

Also what is the most recent version of IBT 2.4? and does it work on win7 64bit?

Its showing vcore as 0.89 V which is pretty low? and also sitting next to my pc is making me cold, so it is really cold in there, is it possible these temps could be realistic?

Cant really upload pics, but using CPU Z, Core Temp, Real Temp, SpeedFan all confirm temps being around 15 Degrees, and that when idle vcore is 0.89

Yea but im typing this on a different pc, my pc isnt hooked up to internet yet but ill try and get some, one sec

Ok, so i found two programs which i think are more accurate, but still max about 45 on 100% and got pics now so

Prime 95, Using Small Blend which is most CPU stressing i believe. Might try IBT, does IBT 2.4 work on win7? Personally though i think the temps shown by coretemp and realtemp are wrong and the ones from pc probe and Asus suite are more accurate.

Also my room itself isnt that cold, but the air coming out the back of my pc is making my hands freezing cold

No

but ive turned my pc off due to it making me cold, anyways i think its safe to say that its definately nice low temps atm which is a nice platform to oc from. Prime is running but win7 hides all my icons and its minimized.

Heating is off and im near a window but i expect 11 degrees etc is not correct

Lol! your PC is a source of heat not visa versa!

It was actually making me cold

Anyway i originally didnt have pc probe installed, and was only using coretemp or realtemp, only installed extra as i thought they were too low. I have the most recent bios just updated it today. But there is definately something wrong with the sensors, as with realtemp when i adjusted the Tj Max to 90 instead of 99, my temps dropped from 12 to 3 degrees, so obviously whatever realtemp is using as a sensor is not working at all, any ideas

?

Maybe reseating the cpu? dont feel confident in doing my first ever OC if i cant really find out the temps

will0812 · 3 Jan 2010 at 01:49

Dont have a thermometer and dunno how else i would

But enough is enough tonight i think. Time for some sleep

The room is fairly big, but nice and cool. Would it be a good idea to use the Asus AI Suite for temps reference then rather than coretemp etc?
