Title: EP45-UD3LR and high temperatures
Post by: chernobyl on March 24, 2011, 02:05:47 pm

“Problem” is-different temperatures.
3rd party software(HW Monitor) shows very high temperatures to cpu and system:
CPU:Core#0 +55C-idle and +70C load
         Core#1 +46C-idle and +60C load
         Core#2 +52C-idle and  +65C load
         Core#3 +58C-idle and  +70C load

EasyTune6:
system temperature:+39C idle and +46C load
cpu temperature:      +33C idle and +39C load

gpu +51C idle and +68C load

BIOS vF11:
System temperature +39C idle and +45C load
cpu temperature:      +33C idle and +45C load

Question is:Should I believe 3rd  party software or EasyTune6/BIOS information?

And my hardware is:
Motherboard:Gigabyte EP45-UD3LR
CPU:Intel Q8200 2.33ghz-CPU Cooler Zalman CNPS7000-Cu
Graphcard:Gigabyte GTX470 SOC 1280mb
RAM:8GB Kingston ddr2 800mhz
PSU:Cooler Master GX 750W
Case:Cooler Master HAF 912+ fans:2x200mm+2x120mm

Hi

I would say that you should try CoreTemp or RealTemp for an accurate measurement of the temperatures. There will always be a difference between the seperate core temperatures but the reporting programs should agree.

Thank you.. Why there is so big difference HWMonitor and BIOS temperatures????

My first thought would be that maybe the programs are not up to date, the latest versions because that is often the case for reporting the wrong values.

I have always latest versions

Well maybe HWMonitor is lying to you! I really don't know why the discrepancy but tyhe important thing is to check and see which reading is accurate.

Yes maybe! As I said if you try the other two programs it will enable you to see which was the most accurate previously.

I googled this "diode vs. socket CPU temps". and there is many very interesting articles.

You will always get variations because of the analogue versus  digital sensors.
