Different apps reporting different temps

[stu1811]

I have an Asus A8n-SLI-Premium with an AMD X2 440+. Asus probe 2 says cpu is at 39 while SiSoftware says both cores are running at 27. Why is there a huge temp difference?

Because software programs for temps and even voltages are unreliable.

asus has odd temp recordings, check ur temp in bios to compare also

i believe the SiS is incorrect if this it talkin about idle temps,

i idle at 30, load 42, with sis... asus probe is around 35 and 47

I've been surfing the net for a while. Nothing CPU intensive.
