Which temp reading is right?

[leigh6]

Hi all,

My idle cpu temps in the bios read 53. Everest and mbm read 33. MSI neo2-f socket 939.

newcastle 3500, zalman 7000al. Air conditioned 24 hours a day.

There is a bios update but it doesnt fix the problem. Case temps read 31 in both.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Leigh

Sounds like case temp vs CPU temp. How hot is your room? What processor are we talking about? 20C is usually the difference between case and CPU, but i may be wrong!

This is cpu temps. Room is 70 degrees all day long, all year long. (Central Air) 3500 newcastle zalman 7000 al
