bytebunny Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Hi, I have an ASUS M4A78LT-M Mobo, with Win 7 Home Premium installed.The supplied Mobo software 'PC Probe' gives me a totally different CPU temperature than 'Speccy' or other software of that nature gives mePC Probe says CPU is 46degrees, Speccy says 61!Anyone have ideas which is the 'true' figure please?Screenshot should be attached, if i've done this right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majithia23 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 try Core Temp -- http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/its the one i have been using for some time now and is quite accurate .see what it reports .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edwarde54 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 You can try AIDA64 - http://www.aida64.com/But any of the tools mentioned above can help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knightmare Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 You can try AIDA64 - http://www.aida64.com/But any of the tools mentioned above can help you.This is what I'm using and mine is at 22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxhedroom Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I run aida as well...it's 'configurability' is second to none....esp for displaying important items in the system tray. Another good app for temps is TPU's RealTemp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bytebunny Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 Thanks everyone. I used a copy of AIDA from good ol' TPB.Confirmed what I suspected, PC Probe is lying, & giving me the MOBO temp.My quad core runs at about 60 degrees C.I did use Artic Silver when I built the beast, but used a stock cooling fan, would an alternative get the temperature down by much?(AMD Phenom II X4 - Quad core, 3.2Ghz) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweety.Abd Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I use HW Monintor and it's pretty accurate, one of my favorite apps. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcs18 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I did use Artic Silver when I built the beast, but used a stock cooling fan, would an alternative get the temperature down by much?Sorry, this might seem off-topic.But, if you ever try liquid-cooling, you'll never be able to go back to air-cooling. The drop in temperature through liquid-cooling is dramatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hullboy Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Could you try with HWiNFO64 (that I use)http://www.hwinfo.com/news64.htmland post a comparison of all the different Temp you got with all the programs?So that everyone can have an idea about this kind of programs.

AMDs are known to run cooler than mainstream Intel.. even at 3.2ghz with my Athlon II X4.. i never reach those high temps.. probably, your heatsink is not really smack-dab seating right on top of your Phenom.. or maybe you've dabbed more TIM on the cpu than it needed, even for the accompanying generic HSF..

And yes, it'll lower your CPU temp, I use one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangkungan Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I'm even running Prime95 as of this writing, and my temps never go past 52.4degs.. again, either improper HSF seating or too much TIM, or both.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at stock 3.2? If you're running it at stock, then the temp is way too high even for the stock cooler with or without thermal paste. What's your ambient temp? Also, what cooler do you use?
