Hello,
I'd like to know why there's a difference in temperature reading between BIOS's reading and Speedfan's?
I just got a 3570k(with CM 212+ and arctic silver 5) and the idle temp according to BIOS is 33-34°C with fan running at 1200 RPM and ambient temperature at 21°C.
However, according to Speedfan, it says the temperature is 27-28°C with the same settings. Isn't that a pretty big difference?
Also, if it is 33-34°C, is that an acceptable idle temp for 3570k? I tried googling it and there seems to be a lot of deviations and 33°C 'seems' like the average, but I'd just like to confirm(although I read some people saying that temp on load is what really counts). My last CPU was Q8400 and its idle temp was 23-24°C with the same cooler(which I recycled after cleaning with Q-tips and 99% Isopropyl). IBs do seem to generally run hotter, but I'm not sure if the temperature I'm getting is due to me seating the HSF improperly.
Thank you for reading.
