Which temperature is the true one?

[TB1333]

Hi

I have two programs supposed to be indicating the temperature of my CPU and I want to know which one is more competent. SiSoft Sandra 2001 shows a CPU temperature of 32°C while my VIA Hardware Monitor says 39°C.

My system:

TB 1333@1400 with Alpha PAL 6035 w/ Sanyo Denki fan
Asus KT7A mobo
256 MB PC-133 RAM

Thanx

I might have some problems with the temperature indicator (most likely it doesn't really touch the CPU perfectly)

Use VIA HWM. It is written for your chipset.
