cpu temp advice needed

Try CPU-Z, should give an accurate enough reading.

Try to keep it below 60C, max temp is usually not far above that.

* It's possible you're actually getting it in Fahrenheit; 127F = 52.8C, which would make sense temperature wise.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

Your point about F vs C is a good one, I have to confess I didn't look closely. But the max temp was set at 75, so I'm pretty sure it was on deg C.

Well I meant maybe the program has it confused; getting a report in F and displaying in C.

Pretty sure no CPU is meant to run up to 75C though, so if you can change that set it too something like 60-65, but make sure it's reporting correctly first.

Where do's it show a temp reading on CPU-Z ?

It doesn't, sorry. Was a bit too hasty.

Speedfan then, or Real Temp, Core Temp. Can also get it from PCWizard; pretty handy if you need any other details on the system.

I use CPUID's hardware monitor... Gives you all kinds of good info - from voltages to temps - and not just for the CPU, but for bridges and GPY as well.

Sorry, I missed your point. Could well be that.

No prob, I ran Real Temp and Core Temp, I get same readings on about 35 deg C on idle, 41-44 with some load on, so looks fine. SpeedFan crashes on me btw.

Tks everyone for advice.
