QUestion on heat monitoring such as Everest Home Edition...

Okay, I have been using Everest Home Edition to monitor the heat in my system and I am a bit confused by it. According to Everest, my CPU is at 32C and Aux is 65c to 68c. What exactly is Aux? I am thinking it's auxillary, but it has a picture of a monitor next to it. Could it be monitoring my Graphics card temperature? Anyone have any experience with Everest Home Edition? Using SiSoftware says my CPU is 32c and my board is 69c. So is Aux the board itself? How could the board be 69c and the CPU lower than that when the CPU is the biggest heat maker on it? This is all while playing World of Warcraft btw.

 

It appears to me that your sensors are being misidentified.

 

MBM 5 is a system monitoring utility that you might also consider should your boards manufacturer not have its own utility. Click on this to get to the list of supported boards.

 

I personally do not use Everest because it gave me the wrong readings about my computers temp. It was saying that my CPU's temp was at 60-65*C and that was definantly way off considering I had just bought this computer. So I got PC Wizard 2005 and it gave me tyhe proper readings at 30*C. But now PC Wizard is giving em problems with an error message.

 

Generally, newer processors do run hotter than the older ones. It also depends on the load, the cooling fan used, airflow in the case, general cleanliness, and possibly few minor things I might be missing.

 

Also, looking at the cpu temps within bios will of course be different, due to the fact that there is nothing putting a load on the system.

 

Unfortuneatly that link is giving me a page can not be found error.

To give an idea of my system, my MB is a ECS L4SA82 board. I have a CPU fan/heatsink, 2 case fans blowing in from the rear of the case, a side fan blowing out and the PSU fan. I'm not sure how I would get an accurate reading from the BIOS since I get these temps while playing WoW. I know taht my temps are going to go up since WoW is putting a strain on my system, but to get an accurate reading would by nigh impossible considering power down time and everything. I know that just from watching the temps with Everest as soon as I quit out of WoW, my temps drop right down in a few seconds. Booting out of Windows and getting to BIOS takes a little longer than that, so the temps will have dropped by the time I got to it.

I am going to see if I can try and get this MBM 5 link to work or find it somewhere else and give it a go.
