CPU tempreture readings

[ajocius]

Hi,

I have overclocked PIV 3,2 GHz @ 3,9 GHz and use speedfan to monitor tempreture. It shows however quite low tempreture to what I would expect. It hoovers around 30 C when not working and reaches 65C during encoding. I was fine with encoding tempreture, but tempreture was suspicious once PC was standing still. One day decided to check tempreture readings in BIOS (my mobo is Asus P5DA2-E) . PC was just started and it already show 60C.... That made my feet cold. Looks like Speedfan might underrate tempreture readings. How can I then be sure I will not burn my CPU??

Anybody?

Anybody?

if you are so scared clock down.....

you are taking a long shot here. There is a big gap between being scared and just lacking some understanting. Who wants to clock down when you can clock up m8. All I need to understand is how to correctly monitor tempreture of CPU.

ok i use speed fan mbm5 and bios but i dossent trust any of them

what do you trust then? How to figure out tempreture of CPU? Isn't that important to monitor once you overclock?

What abouth Everest..? I use thet.. It`s a "multi" program. It finds outh enything abouth your computer, include cpu temp.

You can't trust software-temperature readers 100%. There is always a slight, if not big difference from what the temperature really is. Buy or borrow a digital thermometer and measure the temperatures with that, much more exact.

This is something new... Where should I check tempreture with digital termometer? CPU is well covered with CPU Fan. No way to get even close to it.

 

Stian_t. There are many applications that show tempreture: everest, mbm5 others. Questions is if they give reliable answer. As aspyr noticed, software tempreture readings could be far away from reality, although I do not understand why...
