Hi,
I have just finished building my new m/c (6 days ago) using a Q66oo Quad core on a Asus P5E mobo.
Now being VERY wary of cpu temps I am using the PC Probe II supplied by Asus and,with the computer running @ 75% min.(distributed computing),the cpu temp is 39C - this is with the 2 main fans running at low speed.
Now today I have read about a useful tool,CoreTemp 0.95, so I d/loaded and ran it. It shows the temp from each core as 62C,61C,58C,61C.
Now,as there is a 50% difference in the 2 figures I would love someone to explain why and hopefully say the Asus figure is the right one.
Also I installed 4 x 1gig Crucial Ballistix 1066 memory sticks before I found out they would not be recognized (bright,eh?).I am running XP Pro and,although the mobo detects 4 gig XP says only 3.25gig is being used.Is there no way round this and,if not,will the current config stop the dual-channel working effectively?.
Thank you for any help.
