Core temp and Speedfan agree that my core temp is 20c

ny_driver · Dec 6, 2009, 03:32 PM

well....room temp is 20c and I'm on air(a lot of air), but I still can't believe that's correct. Everest, MBM5, and speedfan say that the CPU temp is 26c. Do you think the core temp sensor is messed up or are the programs messed up and the real core temp is actually the CPU reading of 26c?

26c.. full load? your not really telling us. It could be 26c, if its idle...

I'm just not buying the core temp....room temp is about 18-20c

A 3700+ doesn't produce alot of heat, you have a AC 64 Pro with AS5 thermal paste on it, and you have tons of case fans.

Sounds more then normal to me.
