Primithras Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I have an i5 2500K with a Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3 motherboard and the CPU temperature is off by 9-10-11°. Screenshot (TouchBIOS is a Gigabyte tool) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoneToPlaid Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 The CPU temp (shown by the Gigabyte utility) can't be lower than the system temperature unless you have a liquid chilled or Peltier CPU cooler attached to the CPU. A CPU with a really good heatsink and cooling fan should (as seen by Speccy) run only 5 to 10 C warmer than the overall system temp inside the computer case. I think that Speccy is reporting the correct CPU temp and that the Gigabyte utility is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kansas Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 loooool @ Alan_B Hi there! I'm wondering myself. I use an i7 2600K @ (actually) 4Ghz on a MSI P67A-GD53 (B3) mainboard. However, my MSI Control Center says: CPU = 36° C System = 33° C Speccy: CPU = 43° C System = 43° C I'm pretty sure, my BIOS itself is detecting a lower value because my CPU fan is running at 50% efficiency, with a target temperature of 40° C.
