Temps

[Rustydog]

I just finished building my first computer and everything has been working excellent so far. I have a prescott chip and my bios is reading the cpu temperature at 17C. It's also reading the same temperature on my asus utillity. I only have the stock cooling cpu fan so this seems far from possible. Is my bios and utillity reading the wrong temp?

Never use your bios as a temp reader. Download SisoftSandra or Everest. You may also not be reading the correst temp. I was getting almost 60C temps until i got a better HSF.

just downloaded everest and got...

Mobo - 34C
CPU - 15C
AUX - 9C

Dude, tht is seriously wrong. Something is crewed. You dont even get that with water.

 

[Rustydog]

when i run a game it goes up to about 24C

Well, something is screwed up. That all i can say.

lol, that's hilarious, u may wanna check ur settings, and jack, just so u kno, everest and sisandra get the readings from ur mobo, aka, bios, everest has the more accurate reading in the "over clock" section, but other than that tis the same as bios, and all software, reads like ... 10 C less than the actual temp on my comp

 

[jack22]

No. In the OC section, like you said, it gives you an accurate temp.
