So are my assumptions correct...? I should go by the CPU diode reading? It seems to update much more quickly than the latter.

I am confused on the difference of these....From what I understand the CPU diode take tempature readings directly from the center of the CPU but not all mobos can utilize this information correctly, and I'm not sure how motherboard CPU tempature works. Motherboard CPU tempature is 38C idle, and...

Thanks for the tips, the heatskink is pretty cool to the touch, so I think its the thermal paste, I'll order some and see how it does.

This is the first PC I've bought as a whole. Not sure what they used, but was probably something cheap heh.

I've recently became interested in OC'ing, but decided to check on wether my system was cool enough to even consider it. When I did a stress test using systool CPU temp was 52C, from what I read, 55C is considered the maximum safe limit, Motherboard was at 42C, Motherboard Diode was ar 43C, and...
