Asus probe has to be close, as that sounds like a normal temperature.

Just gotta set up MBM to adjust for them. i have to set up two of my systems to read 10°C higher than what MBM normally reports because I know the motherboard doesn't read right. The only way to be sure is to put an external thermal probe up against your CPU.

What MB is it? On the A7N8X PCProbe reads the Socket temps. You can set MBM to read both the socket and the CPU diode temps. Check MBM site for setup info.

I'm a little confused on how Asus has to get it together. PC Probe gives you a realistic temp but nonAsus programs are giving extremely high temps... Seems like these other programs are the problem. Be it non compatable or setup error.

Yeah, I wish ABIT would do the same, although they don't even use probes! Just some math to guesstimate the temps.

mbm5 and my bios read the same...so i guess i'll live with these 49-50C idle/59-60C load temp til i get a new hsf...btw, the system is stable running P95...still running it, tho...last known stable was 2315MHz with P95 for 13 1/2 hrs...i may try that for 24 hrs cause i've read that's a better indicator....

And you also have to realize that the probe that the programs are probably reading is beneath the CPU in an enclosed space that will get hotter. For you that temp may be correct right there but not at the die of the cpu.

Thank You,
