Which one is right?

I have both motherboard monitor5 and asus probe installed and they report diff temps on my proc mbm reports my proc a 120 degrees and asus probe reports 93 degrees with no load now i know that asus probe is off a little but 27 degrees?! that seems to be a bit much to me. I have a total of three case fans and the power supply has two fans in it the case is the antec sx1040 (the alienware case)and I using the intel socket 370 heat sink with antec silver termal paste.

These are my sys spec:

PIII 933
Asus TUV4X Via 4n1 4.37
Geforce 2 GTS 21.83
Sound Blaster Audgiy Gamer
TDK Velowriter 12/10/32

Bump for an answer please

what does your bios hardware monitoring report? (i.e. when you're not in windows)

 

[Bushwicktrini]

A little higher than the asus probe ie Bios would say 41c and asus would say 38c

I had a similar problem when I had Monitor installed. The temps it reported were way off from the BIOS temps. I use SiSoft Sandra now and
it has the CPU and board temps reversed. The board is an ECS P4S5A if you're curious.

From what I remember from my old system, MBM is so notoriously inaccurate that I had to use the compensations to lower it, in a BIG WAY.

Bios said 19 degrees, MBM said 232 degrees...
Both supposed to be the p2 thermal diode sensor, in degrees centigrade...

With the compensation set to -213, MBM remained in sync with the BIOS.

that was MBM4, by the way.
