Well first off, let me say I am sorry, there are probably many threads like this but anyways...
So I was running prime95 and after about 45 seconds my comp beeped to tell me that the CPU had hit a danger zone (60*C, I set that in BIOS.) So I stopped the tests. Then, I looked at speedfan to see my temps and found that it was not my CPU that hit 60C, it was temp1. Now I had always thought that the CPU in speedfan was my CPU's temp, but could temp1 be some other temperature on my CPU, or is it something different probably? BTW, I am running a Phenom x4 955 BE with stock fan and at stock clock (Max temp is 62C). Here's a pic of the speedfan graph:
So as you can see they were both rising pretty similarly, but only "temp1" hit 60C, which is when my comp beeped and I stopped the test.
