OC and temps

[almach1]

I have my 3800+ X2 at 2.4ghz @1.45v .

I want to try for higher even upping the voltage to get to 2.6ghz.

I wanna keep my eye on temps and i'm using 2 programs.

One is everestHOME and the other one is core temp beta .93

While watching TV surfing the web and recording another tv program i get the following Temps:

Everest reports temps of around 32C
Core Temp reports 36C~38C

wich one should i believe?

CoreTemp as it reads the temperatures from the on-die DTS.
[ the latest everest ultimate supports reading the temps from the DTS aswell, so it should "agree" with CoreTemp aswell 😀 ]

i downloaded ultimate edition of everest. too bad it's trial though. so are my idle temps high for 2.4ghz?

looks ok, I've run my X2 3800+ at 2.6Ghz for a long long time now at 1.45v and it idles around 41c

Assuming that you're on stock cooling ( the BOX amd cooler ), then your temps are really good [ properly ventilated case I assume ]
