What are these temps?

So I was messing around in BIOS and it said my CPU was running at 27C.

I'm like...***? 27C on air? Cool and Quiet is disabled.

So I go into HWMonitor and SpeedFan, and this is what I get.


Now TMPIN0 is my motherboard. The temperatures match from BIOS, and it doesn't really fluctuate much, and my mobo's heatsinks are cool/barely warm to the touch.

I believed TMPIN2 was my processor, but my BIOS is basically saying it's TMPIN1.

The confusing thing is that both TMPIN1 and TMPIN2 go up to the 50's while stressing. TMPIN1 rockets past TMPIN2, but TMPIN2 eventually catches up around the 48C mark.

It obviously can't be ambient because it's like 22C in here, and the air in my case is cool.

Any ideas?

I'd say it's either A) Below freezing in your room, in which case, put on another jacket.

Or B) a temp sensor misread by HW monitor/Speed fan.

When you enable ACC (to unlock the cores), it disables the core readings on the chips. So you will only be able to track temp by the CPU reading, which is a reading on the board at the CPU, not the core reading which is what we really want to track.

So is TMPIN1 or TMPIN2 my CPU reading?

And as long as it's below 60C I'm good, right? The highest it's been is 54C.
it sounds like 26 is your core temp in bios.

Your cpu temp looks like TMPIN2 or temp 3 in speed fan.
Everest or pc wizard are better temp monitoring programs.
If your not sure which temp is which , I usually stress it .
stress your cores with orthos or occt and watch the temps go up. Your temps look good. I set my bios to shut down the pc at 65c just in case.
Whoops, it´s
3 CPU
2 NB
1 MB
I think your safe up to 60c but I wouldn´t push it that far.

well what you should do is dissable the fourth core again monitor your temps at full load

look at TMPIN0/1/2 take note of the one that comes close to your core temp(write it down) and then go back to 4 cores monitor your TMPIN0/1/2 at full load and whichever is closest to the core temp you wrote down earlier is your core temp at 4 cores. Usually there is a 5-10 C difference depends on your cooling.

Say when i'm at x3 my CPU temps are 45C 34C 48C and core is 53C

there for you take 53C-48C = 5C difference

now go to x4, CPU temps are 40C 44C 32C, take 44C + 5C and that's an estimate of your core temp

Actually he could try disabling as many cores as he can...2-3 if possible and then watch his load temps

I load at like 3-5 c above idle temps as a single core and you can add 5 c for each core i unlock after that...till you get to 40-45c

Well before I made it a quad, the cores were about 5C lower than the actual CPU, and were well below 60C when stressing. The highest I've gotten it up to was 54C. I mostly game and nothing really pushes it that hard.

My newest dilemma is trying to work around the BSoD's at 3.7GHz.
