Which one should I believe? I mean, if the GPU-Z temps are right, I feel ok. But if the HWmonitor temps are right, I don't feel ok.

What does CCC show as your temps?

I have HWMonitor on my drive; however, I might look at it, but I don't trust just one.
If, I wanna know the real temps, I break out the multi-meter thermal probe or use the laser thermometer.

Look at Value and Min temps for your CPU - 8 degrees centigrade... you have one cold room there.:rolleyes:
Your local temps seem more around 21C than 8C. Just saying, sorta hard to get those temps on air, unless you have lowered your ambient temps..

Run a few other apps, if, you have no other options to verify and average it out.
Another one I like is HWInfo 32 or 64 bit.

I think I would lean more towards GPUz, too. Just my opinion.:)

EDIT:

GPU-Z. HWMonitor is showing your the same temp as "GPU Temp #1" on GPU-Z. You're comparing two different sensors on the GPU.

Good eyeballing there, erocker, I musta been dozing... I did not even see that 'till you posted.:toast:

Liano chips do this. Others have reported it as well.

That Hwinfo program is great. Thanks!

So it appears HWmonitor is right after all?
