Speedfan but it needs 30 minutes of configuring- after that it is 100% accurate and reliable...probs the only software that is.

Realtemp and Everest can sometimes be accurate depending on your setup.

what do you mean configuring? does it do it automatically?

Takes 30 mins to do but once it's done you've got guaranteed correct reporting.

Sounds like it's mixing it up with the GPU diode temp. Try another app or do the speedfan config

You need to watch the core temp anyway. But yeah check another app to confirm the temps in Everest.

any one who uses speed fan, explain which of the 4 temperatures they give you is the ones i should be looking at

It varies from system to system. I config'd mine so it's now temp1,2,3,4 and each one is named after the correct sensor. Before the config it was:
temp1:mobo
temp2:cpu (tcase)
CPU: GPU ambient
Local: GPU diode
Hard drives were correct.

Feel the bottom of your heatsink/the back of your mobo, under the CPU, is it really hot there?
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Only you would suggest touching the back of the mobo!

Most of us use things called 'cases' and getting to the back of the mobo means taking everything out!

Most of my cases have got a hole in the backplate around there, just to take off the side.

That's rather strange, as it doesn't comply with either the die diode or the core diode readings. Is the heatsink firmly attached to the mobo, in the sense that it can't be wobbled at all from side-to-side? A little bit of turning on it left/right might be acceptable, but not wobbling.

They often give inaccurate readings though. For CPU/GPU temps you want to rely on the internal diodes which measure the temps far more accurately, rather than giving a surface temp. The temps you need to know are the temps at the core (which will be higher than the surface temps no matter how good conductivity you've got going on).

Built in temp sensors are all very well when it comes to hard drive and optical drive temps, but for CPU/GPU stick with sensor diodes and not external thermistors.

yes it moves from left to right slightly but doesnt lift off at all.
its a tuniq tower i wouldnt expect it to

also i really dont think my cpu is at 82 degrees. my system is so stable, no crashes or anything. the only thing i can think of being that hot is my 9800GTX. i no that runs really hot as i can feel the really hot air blowing out the back of it
