CoreTemp VS. Speed Fan's TEMPERATURE reading?

[itakey]

It seems like SpeedFan is giving lower readings than what the machine is actually running.

CoreTemp says my machine is hovering around 33C which is what my BIOS says, but SpeedFan says the CPU is at 21C.

Why is SpeedFan so much lower?

because SpeedFan is not compatible with your motherboard hence it is giving you the incorrect temperature numbers.

There is a beta version of speedfan which corrects this. You install the regular version of speedfan, download the beta, and replace the exe with the beta version.

I'm going to do that.
Thanks!
