| 1248939 | 2011-12-16 02:50:00 | Is there a good and accurate CPU temperature monitor to recommend? Preferrably free. My Asus Probe II shows 28-30 deg C but PCwizard 2010 1.961 shows 47 deg C. The differences are too far apart. |

| 1248941 | 2011-12-16 03:11:00 | You could try Real temp or speedfan. they all use the same sensors as asus probe though, as does the BIOS in fact. I think there may be different methods programmers use to work out the temps as there does seem to be a bit of variation. If any software is wildly different it probably hasn't been updated for your board. I believe there is a sensor in the socket and more sensors in the chip itself, maybe some software uses one and some uses the other. Realtemp gives me 4 diff temps for my 4 cores and seems fairly close to what the BIOS reports. |
