I could be an ass and post something sarcastic like I usually do, but I won't. People too often on here spit out some number without any relevant specifics to go with it. Some of those specifics include monitoring program, CPU load, probe (CPU or Core), internal case temps, and last but not least? expectations. If you expect to see temps similar to a Core 2 with an i7 then you can pretty much forget about it. At load a Core i7 with equivalent voltage and speed will have a higher temperature reading. It?s not an apples to apples comparison. The same can be said about monitoring programs. Core Temp, SpeedFan, and Real Temp all report different temperatures. All these programs really do is guess the temperature of the CPU relative to the probe. Which one you choose is up to you. Real Temp and Core Temp will report the individual core probe temps. SpeedFan will do that too, but also provide temps on the whole CPU using another (less accurate) probe. Temps reported by the BIOS vary wildly from manufacturer to manufacturer and obviously cannot report temperatures at load. There really isn?t anything in your post that provides us the specific information needed to allow us to give you an accurate response.
