Hi
I was reading all the sticky threads posted, and sounds like you guys actually know what you're talking about. I'm wondering if any of you can help me.
I'm having some problems trying to determine my actual temperatures. I have the Thermaltake Hardcano 12, I just bought it around a week ago. I followed the instructions in placing the sensors at the most effective places. I dont think that one of the sensors (the one for my CPU) is at the most effective place, but I have the Zalman Cu7000A HSF and I dont know where exactly to place the sensor.
Anyway, The Hardcano 12 says my CPU and case temperatures are 30C and 31C (at idle, like right now), but when I check Sisoft Sandra, it says my temperatures are 38C and 39C. I installed Speedfan, and that says Temp1: 37C, Temp2: 38C. When I go into my BIOS, it says my CPU and board temperatures are at 48C and 51C. My BIOS always shows it like that for some reason, I dont know why.
This confuses me greatly...which one is more accurate, Sisoft/Speedfan, my BIOS or the Hardcano? And if it's the Harcano thats off, which I'm guessing it is, how can I make the temp. monitoring more precise?
Any input would be appreciated...
Thanks.
