Not sure if it's the app or my machine, but since putting my new machine together, CoreTemp (0.94) has been consistently crashing after running for about a minute.

It's definitely a non-greatful crash too, so it's definitely the app that's crashing... but I'm wondering if anyone else is having similar problems.

Mobo = Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe
CPU = X2 3800+ (also did on a Sempron 64 upto today's CPU upgrade)

I've had .93 crash while running Orthos in the past, I think it is just the app. I can run Anything at 3 gigs here but not that app.. go figure..LOL

Yep, does the same for me with a DFI Ultra-D and overclocked X2 3800+.

I've noticed significant temperature differences between each core when using CoreTemp (as much as 8C). While I know thats possible, I question the accuracy of CT. Actually, I think the issue lies with the temperature sensor on the Ultra-D or the accuracy of AMD's on-die temperature.

It seems like I've read somewhere that the bugs were never all worked out and AMD has stated the accuracy of the sensor is +/- 15C. :Q

I suppose I should mention that neither processor were running overclocked. Both are stock.

The only thing I worry about is that my mobo is a newegg "open box"... but honestly I have zero stability issues other than CoreTemp.

I have it running on the rig in my sig weeks on end no crashes no reboots with .93 and .94 both. Maybe it's a problem with AMD vs Intel :frown:

I installed a Blue Orb on the NB and a Freezer 7 on Friday. Didn't change any settings and now Core Temp crashes after about 1 minute whenever I dual-prime :(
TAT doesn't crash though and the dual primes run till the cows come home.
