I have a 3.4 ghz, pentium 4 w/ 1mb cache, 512 mb ram, 200 gb hard drive, ati radeon x800xt. I just looked at the bios reports for my temps and they were over 200 degrees Celcius!!!(for mb and system temps) I know it's wrong....haha I opened the case and it's feeling pretty cool. Anyways, are there any better ways to get more accurate temperatures from my comp? Any idea of a way to tell to see if my processor is running at a good temp? It's been running very stable, I don't think I've had a crash on my computer once(I built it about two weeks ago)

oh yeah my mb is Intel® Desktop Board D915PBL...

thanks,

Jason
 
Try a BIOS update. My friend had an old MSI board and he couldn't get his CPU temerature to go down, he bought a better cooler and everything. I had to flash his BIOS for him because he was too afraid of messing his mobo up, but anway. His temperature reading got reduced as the reading was more accurate. BIOS update hopefully will post a realistic teperature, if not, maybe your motherboard is defective.
 
niice, thanks a lot, i just updated my BIOS and my temps are looking a lot more normal. they are high though (58 degrees celcius cpu) and 37 degrees system. What kind of temperatures should I be getting on my system before I should be worrying? Hopefully, I shouldn't be worrying right now...
 
what HS/F are you using? And did you check if ur HS/F is seated right with the right sized layer of thermal paste?
