I put in my quad core two days ago, it has been idling at around 60c and maxing out at 64c... I readjusted my cooler and looked things over... So I turned my fans off and did a stress test to see how high it would actually go. It hit 80c.

Now my problem lies here, I clocked my cpu up 100mhz from stock and running stock voltage
I am clearly getting mixed temps and don't know which one to trust. One says 72c and the other says 51c across the cores. What is going on here? I couldnt possibly be idling at these high temps? Something is wrong. ACPI says 40 which i think is my ambient temp. I have a xigmatek std 1283 with two huge delta fans on a push pull setup. The processor I just swapped out for this was a 5000+ and idled at 45c max at 63c and that was oc'd to 3.3ghz with NO delta fan setup. Please help.

Looking at the above pic, which temps do I go by?!
The ITE? The Winbond? The phenom core temps?

I have never seen a SpeedFan reading like that before ("Core Temp"). It's normally Core 0, Core 1, Core 2, Core 3, etc. It looks like it's coming from the ASUS motherboard sensors, which are often completely useless for an accurate CPU temp reading.

Try CoreTemp instead.

yeah i actually labeled the sensors in speedfan so i knew what was what, CoreTemp is like -12c under the asus readings, Go by the second picture that is coming straight off the sensors so those are the correct labeling. But still, I have no idea what to trust now. Is my processor running ridiculously hot or normal?

If I followed the core temps shown in the second picture I would be fine, but if I go with the ITE's then that's a serious problem.

If you look at the first pic I ran up the temp to 80c, my processor max temp is rated at 70c so it would be toast if those sensors were reading right, correct?

Mmm. Well, I guess without consulting CoreTemp, I would probably go with the four readings under "AMD Phenom X4 9600 Black Edition".

Winbond is the motherboard sensor, which I don't trust on ASUS boards. It's probably meant to be northbridge temperature or temperature of something else on the board itself. I'm not sure what the ITE sensor is, but I sure don't like the look of it (11C is an impossible reading under normal circumstances).

Yeah I have no idea what the ITE sensors are either but it seems to be the default sensor that pc probe and aibooster get the cpu temp from

Your temperatures look perfectly normal to me, a lot like when I had my Phenom 9850 BE.
