For a while now I've been trying to find my real cpu temp, and every reading I get seems to high or too low for my system.
In my bios when I start it up, its slowly raises to an idle temp of 51c
(I find that ridiculously high)
However, with multiple programs (Coretemp,Everest,HW Monitor) all report my cpu idle hovering around 30c (which I find ridiculously low).
My Specs
I have...
Asus M2N68-AM SE2
AMD Phenom X4 9600 2.3 Ghz
2 X 2gb Corsair DDR2 800 mhz
750GB Seagate HDD
Ultra 500W Power Supply
Sparkle Nvidia 9400gt 512 mb passive
My case has 2 80mm fans blowing inward. One of them blows directly on my video card. I also have one 80mm and 120 mm blowing out.
Other Details
My ambient temp is somewhere below 25c. (Im not sure but Im in my basement and its alot cooler than the 25c outside)
My gpu idles at 50c
My mobo idles at 34
I recently replaced the stock thermal paste with Ocz freeze (no major change in temps)
My operating system is winxp pro 32bit
I was also told that phenoms have an offset with temperature readings, so any more info on this could help.
Thanks for any help,
Justin
