MSI H81m-p33 board temperature

[Inet]

I'm really confused and I needed your opinion. I use Speccy and CPUID HWMonitor to control my board temperature. Speccy always indicated to me that the board has a stable temperature of 50º C in idle or load. After using CPUID, the temperature dropped to 28 stable!!! However CPUID in SYSTIN, indicates always 50 and 28º C in TZ00. So, which one is the correct one?
I'm also concerned, because I think 50º C is too high. Can someone indicate the best way to confirm the board temperature? What are the good idle and load temps for my board?
Thanks

It depends on where the program is pulling its information from and what bit is monitoring. The most accurate information would be in the BIOS. And 50c is not too high if it is the chipset.

Hey,

I'd agree with Jimmy, 28c or 50c, those temps are fine so there isn't anything to worry about (if you were). One of those programs is showing either invalid values or a different part of the mobo is cooler than the other part of the motherboard, it is all based on where the sensors are on the board. I'd say that HWMonitor is the most accurate one.

From what I read CPUID SYSTIN is System Temperature Index. What is this? It's the chipset zone? Can I see BIOs temperature at any time, or only when the pc starts?

Some programs can pull from the BIOS but not always. For the most part even then it is best to be in BIOS to see the temperatures.

Or get a thermal imaging camera if you have the money and watch the board in real time.
