Temperature measurement on DS3

Hi all,

I don't know if this has been discussed but I'll throw it out here anyways. I recently got a DS3 and it has worked well. I'm overclocking an 6300 currently at 2.8 GHz (400*7). I'm a bit obessessed about making the temperature as low as possible. I found that there's a discrepency between the gigabyte utility Hardware Monitor (easytune 5) and temp core (or intel thermal analyzer tool). This discrepency is as big as 10C, with temp core being higher always. i.e. temp core will say i'm idling at 40 C and HM will say i'm at 30. What is the difference? is one measuring the inside and the other the outside?

P.S. at my current OC, temp core will say 60C and HM about 52 at full load (primestress). That's acceptable right? My dell core 2 duo in the office (6600) at default speed/voltage runs at 81C (@#@!#@) under full load...

Thanks all,

Yiran
