Maybe with this bios update they changed the cpu temp reading sensor, or maybe it reads the socket temp which is always hotter than core temps, you dont know for sure. Both realtemp and coretemp are both very accurate programs for cpu temp reading. You cant go wrong with any of them, so dont worry at all. Your temps are just fine.
i5 2500k really hot or fake reading?
Ok, i managed to sort out the bios for the 1155 rig, but now there seems to be some discrepancy with temperature readings.
Now before the motherboard had a bios flash, 4.5ghz would land the 2500k at around 70-75c under OCCT, but on the motherboard readout, it now reaches around 82c, however RealTemp and CoreTemp show 65-71c which sounds right...
Here is what is happening, a photo of the board readout, and a screen shot from screen of OCCT running in background.
Here is the weird reading...
Also at idle, temps are way high on the motherboard readout, idling at 47-53c, but in the temp softwares, 30-37c.
I am a little puzzled, and this bios flash has done nothing but screw things around so far.

I was thinking it was reading from elsewhere, or just a out of tune sensor, thanks for this infoOriginally Posted by ChaosAD

Ok, i had to redo my Windows Aero assessment, so i did that, max temp under the CPU test was 69c, the CPU actually peaked at 5.2GHZ, it seems i have enabled some sort of dynamic overclock, with all 4 cores under stress, the CPU will max at 4.8ghz at 1.65v according to CPU-z, but when 1 or 2 cores need the extra, it will ramp up to 5.1-5.2ghz, which i just love the fact it can do this, Vcore also went to 1.388 at 5.2ghz.
I think i learnt something new today

Ok, 3D Mark run, compare this to my last if you wish, but this is quite a large bump in performance, and remained solid stable throughout.

Here is temps for the run.
Well it seems the CPU reached 5ghz under 3D Mark.
Last run on crap bios.

As you can clearly see here, 4 cores in use hitting around 4.9GHZ, but staying around the 45-50c range.
Game is running maxed at 720p windowed, so i can create a more CPU bound situation, plus it shows the temps and clock whilst playing.

Ok guys, been playing Warfigter for 2 hours solid, the machine feels very responsive, and FPS has improved quite a lot, surprising considering the GPU that is in it...
I am waiting for stock and the 2500k will be paired with a EVGA GTX 780 Classfied

Not a single hint of backing down, which is incredible.

Proof below of how CPU taxing Frostbite is.
Hottest temps produced yet, but this was 2 hours.
Ok, a fantastic OC, Prime95 flowed perfectly fine with no crash, but i had to cut it early, as temps were hitting on the high side with 85c on the hottest core.
Not bad for a H100 really, but i want to play it safe at least, going to set the frequency to 4.6ghz at 1.33v

let me go back and investigate this thread...
