Normal cpu bios temp

[alfaro]

is 44-50c in bios normal temp?

Cpu: i3-4130 on Stock cooler

Depending on the mobo, I believe that reading is incorrect. Before I had windows installed on my pc, the CPU temp in my BIOS was 55C and after I got windows installed, I installed hwmonitor and the temp was ~30C idle which is much more realistic. My CPU is the i3 4160 and I too am using the stock cooler. Mobo is an ASRock H97 chipset.

Guys,

A single Analog Thermal Diode located in the center under the Cores measures "CPU" temperature, which is the overall temperature of the entire processor. The Analog value is converted to Digital (A to D) by the Super I/O (Input / Output) chip on the motherboard, then is calibrated to look-up tables coded into BIOS for each socket-compatible processor.

CPU temperature in BIOS is higher than in Windows at idle, because BIOS starts the processor at boot voltage to ensure that it can initialize under any conditions. The monitoring utilities provided by motherboard manufacturers on your Driver DVD reads CPU temperature. Thermal code can vary greatly between BIOS suppliers and version updates, and can be wrong by up to 30C. BIOS or CPU temperature may not be accurate.

thanks! so which cpu monitor should i use which supports windows 8.1? have any suggestions?

I like HWinfo64 because it includes pretty much every possible sensor reading. That and MSI afterburner for GPU monitoring.

thanks ill try that!!!!!! i was just wondering some people say that bios temps are very high coz the cpu is running at full load or something am i right? when i start at bios temps are at 31-33c then after a few minutes it rises upto 44-50c... so i guess in these temps are normal???

44-50 under load is fine. Anything over 90C on the stock cooler is where you should start realizing something is wrong.

 

[alfaro]

okay 90c bad! noted thank you again!

Intel speed step/ cool and quite won't take effect at BIOS so it will run at full voltage/ clock speed meaning more heat and higher Temp's

ccampy,

It's always a great idea to read the entire thread before you post. Did you happen to read this above?
