My room feels like a sauna!
Ambient is about 20-23C, here is a screenshot of realtemp/coretemp/speedfan, they are all giving me different readings which one is most reliable?
1-1.jpg

these temps are after 5 mins of idle with my gpu fan running 100% and the two exhaust 120mm fans on my p183 at 100%, not very impressive compared to my e8400.
what is temp1-2-3 mean?
and what do the core 0-1 temps mean?
i checked in bios and it says my temps are 40+...which is hothothot!
 
this is with the TRUE HSF, thought it would atleast put me at mid 30s.
what does temp1-2-3 and core0-1 in speedfan mean?
i always thought core = cpu temp, but it's too low, and there are only two of them.
or is there only two places u can measure on the "core" of the cpu?
