Temperatures confusing me

[2 billion penguins]

Hi,

So basically I decided to look at my computer temps via speedfan and the following came up:

I really dont know much about temps and I was wondering if anyone could explain to me what the core 0 and 1 temps meant (are those my cpu's individual core's temps, in which case whats the difference with the cpu temps?) and if those are unusually high for idle temp.

Thanks.

Use HW monitor, speedfan doesnt appear to be reading your system properly, or you have a very interesting cooling setup.

The core 0 and core 1 temps do refer to the individual core temperatures, and are rather high, they should be in the high 30s at idle. What concerns me is that it thinks your case temp is 42C and your CPU temp is 14C, now unless your room is under 60 degrees F i doubt that either of those temperatures are right, try with different software.

Here are the results with HW monitor.

Btw, anyone go any ideas how I could increase the cpu fan's rpm, or is this just normal speeds for some cpu fans?

up the numbers to 100% in those 3 little boxes in speedfan. that may or may not do it though...

tried that, and the fan speed ends up fluctuating between 527rpm and 550pm

Sorry forgot to do that lol:

Medion built PC

CPU: Core 2 Duo E6400 @2.13Ghz
Ram: 2Gb DDR2
PSU: 300W (this is from memory not 100% but kinda sure), no idea the make
GPU: Nvidia 7650GS
Mobo: MS-7318

Note: no idea what kind of cpu cooler either.
