My temps are WACK!

[d3lt4]

I have a socket A cp and I used speed fan to detect the speeds. It says
temp 1= -48c
temp 2= 35c
temp 3= 32c
temp = 1c
temp 1=30c
So which ones are which? and do I need a temp sensor to really get my temps?

The "Cases and Cooling" forum is probably your best bet. Personally I know nothing of this subject.

Maybe it really is that cold. Have you tried touching it?

It's most likely just reading the wrong sensor. I had a sensor that read 127C.

The best way to find out if there is somethings wrong( In your case) is to touch it, BUT D'not EVER put your hand in to your PC's CPU H/S fan.....Very....Very....Very Bad Idea.

this is with a Biostar M7NCG 400 nForce2 board. Does anyone know which temps are which? Thanx for the advice. I know nothing is -48c. 1c is not likely either but 35c is very lickely as I only have the cpu fan and i case fan on the side. Would that be why it is lagging alot in games?

If it were hot to the point of making games lag, then it should crash sometimes as well. So it's not likely the reason. On most boards you should be able to check the temp in the bios, and it'll tell you which temps are which.

why not? i do that all the time and havnt had a single problem. If you give the HS enough momentum to cause it to misalign itself from the cpu core then thats a different story... but otherwise I dont see why you shouldnt, as HS is not supposed to be conducting. If anything, some audiophiles have found attaching a wire to ground HSs makes some difference in their sound, as this is a procedure recommended by AMD (do a search on head-fi if interested) to reduce EMI buildup. That doesnt really have much to do with touching the HS with bare hands though.

and as for the OPs question, does it really matter? I bet my temps are pretty high, but my computer is amongst the quietest I have heard (though it still has some room to improve with that PSU) and hasnt crashed once due to heat/OCing at 2.5 so I am pretty happy with that.
