proper temps?

hmm, well I have found speedfan to be unreliable for me, but regardless of which temps are accurate, it's running hot,

well i guess ill just put some thermal paste on it, it has what looks like tinfoil between the cpu and heatsink, but thinking ill wait till i put a new cpu on it, i found a tl-60 for 60us and a tl-64 for 100us, im not sure what cpus i can put in, i kno what intel chips go into intel boards but i kno nothing about amd, what should i look for? all i know is that it needs to be socket s1g1 638 pin (what every that means) lol

I'll be honest, I know nothing about AMD's mobile chips, so you'll have to get advice from some other members, or do some research

What is another good temp tracking program to see what that says about my cpu temps.

hmonitor

np

i just installed hmonitor and its giving me the same readings as speedfan, so does that mean coretemp is not working?

i have to restart my comp so i have not used it yet, so idk

it could be reading it differently, resulting in different temps yes. It's hard to say for sure which is more accurate, but i would go with the 2 that give similar results. regardless you gotta get some better cooling one way or another
