Coretemeter.exe gives me CPU core temps. The mobo under windows show different. Used Biostar's software and Everest both display the same. But if I re-start and go into Bios it shows a different temp. Bios temp > Everest Temp by 5C. The bios temp and core temps are close enough (Bios<Core by 2Cto4C). So Everest<Bios<Coretemeter as 29C:34C:36to38C

Which one should I keep an eye on
Coretemeter
Bios
Everest

Motherboard Monitor doesn't support my mobo. Anyother monitoring software that will log me temps and gives me correct readings?

Athlon 64 3200 @ 2574(234*11), 1.55V 38C idle, 52C load. Cooled with Thermaltake RX-k8 heatsink.

Advise please.:respect:
 
personally i take them all into affect when looking.....but if u use the highest 1 as a gague for temp, you will always be safe. coretemp does run hotter on most machines than in bios or onboard utilities. but as i read i think its cuz it reads the actual core instead of the mobo sensor chip!
