Hi, I am curious as to what the temperature difference between the core and the CPU over all reading should be. Currently I am using a stock AMD heatsink and fan on my AMD Phenom Black Edition 9850, running it at stock clock speed with Arctic Silver 5 thermal compound. I have looked around on Google and such as to the functionality of the stock heatsink, and most people claim it is a pretty good piece of hardware. All this aside, Everest reads my CPU at 47C but my core values are at 60C, which my colleagues lead me to believe is very hot and this is at an idle with low ambient temperature. I would toy with the fan speeds but my mobo has all the settings locked. Could this be a hardware issue, an installation issue, or just bad communication between the temperature reading programs and my motherboard?
