Could this happen that CPU temp hotter then diode temp?

[BioS]

I'm runing AIUHB 0250 @ 2405 w/1.825. The MBM5 show my diode is 34C and CPU temp 36C on idle.

Ambient temp 20C
Case temp 29C
Bios temp show 36C

Which is my correct CPU temp??

The temp sensors are so inaccurate that one never really knows. My guess is that your CPU is at 55C load and maybe 40C idle. If it runs ok then I would not worry about it.

The 2 readings are only a couple degrees apart, so just figure your temp is in that range. With the Vcore you are running your load temps should not be in the 50,s with the idle temps you are getting. Your load temps should run mid to high 40,s.

I was having the same problems with my Asus A7N8x. I am going by MBM 5. That seems to be giving more accurate temps.
