Who do I beleive?

[.Griff.]

I've just finished putting together my rig (E2160, 965P-DS3, 2gb OCZ XTC) and as I plan to overclock it I've started to gather the necessary "tools", i.e Speedfan, Orthos , Intel TAT and so on.

Out of curiosity I ran Orthos to see what the temps were like at default. For some reason Intel TAT is giving me a temp of 53deg's under load and Speedfan is giving me a temp of 42deg's under load.

Which do I trust?

TAT is the daddy.

 

[dun]

Yup, TAT is the one.

TAT

[Bizarre]

Yup, TAT's the way to do it.

Speedfan also reads 10c less on my system, pic below.

Cheers peeps..

I'm not disputing what you're all saying but Speedfan, MBM and Gigabytes own tool all read the same yet TAT is different by some margin. Can all three of them be "that" wrong?

Edit - SF, MFM and GB tool are presently reading 30/31 at idle while TAT is reading 51!?!?!

Try coretemp as well, but TAT is most likely right...

 

[Cupra]

i always use coretemp it reads the same as tat usualy

 

[dun]

All the random monitors read a lot lower on mine (except for the beta coretemp- but that has stability issues for me )
I can post a similar pic up later if you like.

Does intel TAT work on non-intel chipsets? I have a VIA chipset and use coretemp, assuming that TAT wont work

 

[Justintime]

Yep, works on some nvidia boards, have't tried VIA though.

 

[Dravic]

TAT worked on my last board that had a VIA chipset which was the Asrock dual VSTA.

TAT is the daddy.

No its Ray Winston !

Yip. And CoreTemp can read more than two cores.

There are 3 sensors in total on your system, 2 on die, 1 on the mobo...


Speedfan, asusprobe, bios, etcetc all read the mobo sensor.

TAT and Coretemp read the on chip sensors.

Some programs, like everest, list all sensors...
