Please log in for more thread options Anyone here familiar with the utility called SpeedFan? I installed it because I wanted to determine the temperature of my CPU, and I need help interpreting the information. There's a reading labeled "CPU", and then one for each of my cores labeled "Core 0", "Core 1", etc. I have an Intel Core 2 Quad running at the stock speed of 2.50 GHz. "CPU" goes as low as 31C on idle and goes up to 38C on load, whereas the readouts for the individual cores idle in the 40s and go up to 55C on load. Which of these readings should I care about? The one labeled "CPU" or the ones for the individual cores? Do you think these readings are accurate? Thanks in advance for any advice. (By the way, I have a Tuniq Tower 120 heatsink.) | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options can you provide the temp readings for each core under idle and load then the termal temp. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

You have no problems there, my cpu hits just over 80c when my laptop goes down without warning. It's good in one respect, it does not damage the hardware, but it will be a problem if I am working on an important document at the time. currently I am reading the manual so I can take this thing to bits and properly clean the heatsink and fan. It's a big job on a laptop though. As regards which temperature you should be concerned about .. all of them cheers, code_wrong | ||||||||||||||||||||||

If you want to overclock - then get a decent 3rd party cooler that'll knock 5-10 degrees off those temps but otherwise you're fine. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
