Well, i recently built a new computer, for the first time. I tried to make sure that i got the best airflow i could get with my budget. I have two small case fans, and a huge one, it gives pretty great airflow.
Now i want to get my CPU temperature so i can accurately decide how far to overclock my computer. I dont want to stress it too hard.
I am using an AMD Athlon II x4 631 With stock heatsink/fan.
I have been trying several programs to detect my CPU temp, and the temperature reading is quite different on each one.
Its about 20-22c in my room.
CoreTemp says im running at 15c CPU (idle)
My Motherboard BIOS says im running at 50c CPU (idle)
Speedfan shows several temperatures,
CPU: 12c (idle)
Temp1: 60c (What is Temp1?)
Temp3: 33c (What is Temp2?)
I thought my BIOS would be the most accurate, but it says im running at 50c on idle, which sounds a little too HIGH for an idle cpu. Especially one with all the fans i have in the case.
CoreTemp and Speedfan both say around 10-20c idle, but i also am reluctant to believe it is THAT cool with only a stock heatsink.
So, im just a little confused, which one should i believe?
Depending on which one is correct, i either have a really cool CPU or a pretty warm CPU...
Is it possible that i got my Temp as low as 10c using a stock heatsink with superior airflow?
