What are my real temps?

[hungrydummy]

when i check my temps in bios it reads about 38c cpu and 27c case but when i load windows Mother Board Monitor 5 says 43c for cpu and 28 case, aslo i have recantly updated my bios and was unable to get any temp readings on my cpu in windows untilll i installed mbm5 and now all my programs(sisoftware, hwdoctor) read the same where as before the update there was a little differance bettwen the programs.

thanks hungrydummy

Looks like the BIOS update fixed that error.

maybe i worded it worng but what im saying is that after the bios update my bios temp readings went to 38c but mbm5 says it's 42c i just want to know witch of these to trust.

Ahhh... it's tough to say since both of them are software based. Best way to check if to use hardware.

BIOS usually is more accurate since the mobo companies tend to recalibrate temp sensors with BIOS updates. I could just keep the temp difference in mind and just read the MBM temp.

yeah thats about what i thought.

thanks
