AMD Sempron 2200+ @ 2ghz. I'm using Speedfan to monitor temps. I read that that diode sensors are more accurate in sensing cpu temps. My mobo is ECS K7VTA3 v6.0. Setting sensor to thermisistor temperature reads 48c, but when i set the sensor to diode it reads 39c, then drops to 35 after awhile. Which sensor should i use? My HSF is the Coolermaster Aero 7 Lite.

Thermisistor or Diode?

I use mbm5. Uninstall speedfan(unless you use it for fsb changing on the fly or something else) and dl and install mbm5 (motherboard monitor?) Just reinstall speedfan if that's your preference...Some people have problems getting their temps when both programs are used.
I get the same readings with mbm5 as with my bios
I hope this info helps

I have the same question. I have chaintech 7vjl deluxe. The nios readings are 53 for the CPU (too high) and the mbm5 readings for the CPU according to it's default for my mobo settings are 28. I must set another sensor just to show the bios readings. And at default the readings aren't stable. It changes but most of the time are correct.

Those readings sound correct if your in the bios and you got 53c that is a diode reading. Mbm5 reading 28c is a socket reading.
