I'm not sure if 'Everest' is correctly reading my temperatures because 20mins of Prime95, running the max heat test. My CPU hits 67DegC but its stable., and the PC does not fall over or have any problems running at this temp.
I'm not sure how good 'PC Wizard 2010' is but it reports 'Processor Thermal Diode' around the same temp, only .5DegC lower. But it also has a 'Processor' temp at 31DegC (tOffset:16°C) which Everest reports as 'Motherboard temp'.
Which is correct?
What is tOffset?
I can also use a WMware virtual machine (Ubuntu) and itunes and browse and stuff at the same time and no problems!!
The CPU heat Sink is not ouch! hot to touch, just quite hot. I would have expected it to be a lot hotter.
I re-seated and applied new thermal compound, trying different amounts of the stuff and I get the same result. I even have tried different brands of thermal compound, I get the same high CPU temperature under Prine95. So I think the CPU is being cooled properly.
Where could the problem be?
Is my CPU running at 67DegC in Prime95 or could there be a sensor issue?
