@OP, the idea is good but you left out some major information requirements, namely the room ambient air temperature (results mean nothing if one is in the refrigerator and the other is in the sun) and whether you're asking for load or idle temps, also I have my doubts about the accuracy of speedfan as we all know it reads Intel Quads ~15°C low.
Exactly. I've tried to explain this to some people and they always poke fun when i'm like well what are your ambient temps. For sure it does matter. My clocks higher now and load temps are less because its cooler now.
@ ISOwner & Atomic Rooster, neither of your voltages are flash, keep an eye on those (bear in mind the ±5% threshold) more so ISOwner, your +5v and +12v are severely lacking. I'd suggest testing you psu's with a multimeter for greater accuracy.
His +5V isn't to bad but his +12V is way off.
doesnt matter, you cpu temps can be below the ambient, your heatsink cant though. since the heat transfers from the cpu to the HS, than in theroy the cpu can be below the ambient, since none of the cpu is exposed to the air. my ambient is ~75f BTW.
im using everest, and my bios agrees with it too.
This is something I don't think were ever going to agree on Rudster. When a HSF's job is cooling the CPU because without it the CPU would overheat. So how can a cpu be colder then a HSF when the HSF's job is cooling it? The only way your getting less then a ambient temp is with water/phase/ln etc. Because the water etc can be cooler then the ambient.
As for Everest and you Bios agreeing is your bios up to date with the CPU your running? My CPU was reading roughly 10C off what it was on the old Evga Bios revision. Besides the bios puts a load on the CPU as well so those temps are partially loaded. So your getting the same temps in the bios at partial load as you do Idle in Windows? Somethings not right. How much do you get under a stress test in windows?
Anyways I snapped this just now. Rooms around 77F and case ambient is 80F by LCD monitor. If you want to see my full load temps just click the link in my sig to my overclock guide. Full load temps are recorded in that pic there.
