Monitoring CPU Temperature
I'm not really sure how to check my CPU temperature, and I have a bunch of temperatures just laying around. How do I know which one is my CPU temperature?

[img=http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/8992/cputemp1ja.th.jpg]



Is it even monitoring my CPU temp? If not, how can I?

sorry to sound like a noob, but I have almost given up on this.

I think you have the wrong sensor selected, I mean your CPU is -119.. so unless you're on cascade or LN2... I donno.

Check the BIOS maybe?

Don't you mean unless you're on pluto
Maybe try reflashing bios.

I don't know much about the BIOS except overclocking the CPU... How exactly do I fix this?

also, in the BIOS, the CPU temperature is correctly displayed.

I'd say that MBM isn't configured right...and "temp 1" in speedfan probably is your cpu temp. Fire up prime95 or another stressapp, and see if the temp rises..

temp 1 is CASE temp

You're so sure about that?

31 seems about right for an idle X2....especially since core voltage is like 1.35 volts

alright, I'm pretty much a n00b at prime95. I downloaded, extracted and installed the program. Now what do I do? and how does this fix my problem?



I feel really really bad for bothering you guys, but thanks for helping!!! I really appreciate it!




EDIT******

Go to options---->torture test----> and choose In place large FFTs
Now observe the temp1 reading, if it rises 5-8 degrees (or more...) pretty fast you know that that's the sensor for cpu...


Edit: I see that you use the K8N Neo4 motherboard, didn't that come with some kind of monitor software?

how long does the torture test take?


I will check my Motherboard box and check for discs that monitor temps.




EDIT***

I didn't find any temp monitoring software...

It will run until you turn it off, or until it sense any instability within your system.

But I found the software that measure the temps etc, etc for your motherboard. It's called CoreCenter and can be found Here

thanks for the help, I'll try this out.






EDIT***

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I LOVE YOU!!! yeah, I found out what my CPU temp was. thanks

what are safe temps for Toledo cores?






EDIT*** sometimes the CPU temperature reads errors like -119 C... do you think this is a problem? what should I do?

Your core is 38 so I wouldn't worry.... anything much over 55-60 is a worry point
