Also, your temp. being 82°F than you are running at 28°C, which is great for a CPU. If you are running at 82°C then your computer wouldn't boot. I don't know of any CPUs that are around anymore that can handle 180°F.

If it's one of these new fangled on-chip sensors, then it can probably go a lot higher then 60°C, as that should be much closer to the on-die temperature.

I doubt its on die, as she'd have to place the probe there or used the temp. bus on the CPU...which is possible, but I don't think it gives the on-die temp. as people would freak out and ask why their BIOS isn't protecting them.

But how do you know that temp 1 runs hot? It can't be 88 C. Therefore it must be 88 F which is very cool.

It could be at 82C. My Core 2 Duo CPU fan just decided to turn off on me one night and I didn't realize it till it started beeping at me. The app Caligula gave me read 81 degrees C on each core. I stuck my hand in the case, spun the fan back up, and everything was fine. I guess some wire must have been in the way.

Well maybe I'm wrong about the new CPUs not giving the on-die temps. Regardless, the temperature she is giving is either very good, or so bad that the BIOS would have shut down the computer OR the CPU would have either hit its own protection and shutdown OR the CPU would already be fried.

Or the CPU could have throttled to keep itself from burning entirely.

it is C or there wuldnt be a big CCCC beside the number. and its holding at a steady 74 ... i guess thats livable til i can figure out wtf it is.

I wouldn't worry about it. What's the BIOS say your temps. are?

Look for a program named Everest, it'll give you temp readings BUT it will label them with the proper part. Afterwards just compare the temps on Everest to the ones on SpeedFan and rename the ones on SpeedFan to their correct part. Although you can just keep using Everest and forget about SpeedFan. Only problem is Everest (free edition) is discontinued so you'll have to find them at torrent sites (shouldn't be that hard).

It depends on certain things if Everest can name the right part. To do that, I'd assume that they'd have to have a database of motherboard specs. Because, the temperature inputs are usually just generic named via the motherboard specs. anyway. I mean it is obvious what they are going to be used for, but they'd probably only be named Probe1, Probe2, or even T1, T2, etc.

you took the words right out of my mouth

Everest does contain a pretty vast (although outdated now) list of motherboards and their specs. My motherboard is a bit older (A8N-SLI) so it detected and labelled all the sensors/temps fine. So assuming cupcak's using a somewhat older motherboard then Everest should be able to detect it and label exactly what it is that's 80C.

Then I can see why there is a paid version then, unless it was open source...or at least the database was open source anyway. That's a pretty cool feature. I might try it out.
