My pc idles at 9c..

[robthatguyx]

i woke up this morning to see my stock clocked pc at 9c and ive never had it go over 25c while using it..something wrong with my temp probes or something? i use core temp and for those wondering my house is 55-60f all year
its a quadcore amd x4 645

90*C or 9*C ?

 

[Chainzsaw]

And this is a problem because...? 60f is approximately 15c which is a very low ambient temperature.

I wouldn't worry about it unless your having problems. Actually, the lower temperature should increase the lifespan of your computer.

no 9c and not worried just alot of people in the other fourum didnt belive me when i told them so i thaught something might be up because im only using the pc stock nothing been done to it

What's the temp is BIOS?

well than i quess coretemp lies i was at 40c anyone know a more accurate temp monitor?

Try HWmonitor.

sounds like you have a bad thermal diod or incompatable software. its not really a problem unless your over clocking because you will never be sure if the temps are accurate... after testing and you find its the cpu then best rma it as defective.
i would say test with multiple apps. as some are known to have issues with certain configs... like speedfan and the x58 cpu's if you use a x19 multi the temps read 10'c lower than what they actually are if you read em with other apps at the same time.

so yeah test with multiple apps like speed fan, real temp, core temp and hwmonitor. b4 you make a decision to return it.

your cpu cannot be below ambient, therefore your software is reading it wrong, or you have a broken thermal monitoring diode.

 

[amuffin]

hwmonitor and pcwizard are both great softwares.

 

[robthatguyx]

dont plan to oc this pc but in a month or so i do plan on building one and oc that one so id perfer to have the best monitor i can,ill check out the ones you guys posted and send back feedback

ok so i downloaded hwmonitor under the amd athlon2 x 645 it shows all 4 cores at 17c but under the temp section it shows my cpu at 31c..im quite confused if in one section the cores are at 17c how can the cpu itself be at 31?
