I have recently purchased some new hardware, see the specs on the left, and am a little concerned at the way the various different software temperature monitors inform me of the CPU temperature.
Further to Clunk's excellent tutorial, I installed TAT and Core Temp and also use Asus Probe II. I have also installed an Arctic Cooling Freezer Pro 7 HSF.
The CPU is overclocked to an FSB 334Mhz (3Ghz)
During idle I get temperatures around 39-44 degs, and under load (Orthos) it has peaked at 65 degs. However what I am concerned about is that each piece of software is constantly reporting different temps. Asus Probe is the most pessimistic, usually being 4-6 degs hotter than TAT, and Core Temp is usually somewhere in between.
However Asus Probe only measures one temperature whereas the other two measure each core.
Are these differences in temperatures something to be concerned about?
Also, as this is my first overclock, are these temperatures about right? As I would like to overclock further...
