Cpu temps

[thesob40]

Recently bought a amd ahtlon 64 x2 5000+ and i have a ZALMAN 9700 cooling this cpu...ive been monitoring the temps for the last hour and when idle..the temps go from 29 degrees to 38 degrees with in the matter of seconds...this a bad sensor? Ive been using asus probe to monitor temps but i checked in bios and the temps where doing the same thing...

Feel it, you should be able to tell if its really 38.


EDIT: I am not liable for any third degree burns, or loss of body parts, should you choose to feel it.

Dude 38 degrees is nothing... Is this at idle? If it's reaching the upper 40's or lower 50's, i would be worried...

Asus probe reports random measurements ( just like most Temperatures & Voltages monitoring software, as they get the measurements from the onboard SuperIO Chipsets ).
Use CoreTemp ( http://thecoolest.zerobrains.com/CoreTemp ) to view your CPUs real temperature ( read directly from the DTS )

ok using that now...

Core #0 - 28C
Core #1 - 24C


so i guess im good

Yes your temps are looking good.
To find out your max load temp run S&M ( CPU ) FPU Test.
It will reach the highest temperature possible [ though your everyday gaming/processing/etc load temp will be a little bit { 2-4C } lower than the max temp when running S&M ]

[ for S&M Download links check www.benchmarkhq.ru ] { there's an english version ofcourse }
