    So ive been using Speedfan, but speedfan only shows 3(cores) core 0 1 2 and my CPU has 4cores, so i decided to download core temp cause its compatible with my CPU(according to website) and now im concerned.

    Coretemp is showing all my cores at about 35Cish, while speed fan shows my 3 cores at about 20C.

    Which would be a more accurate reading? coretemp since it shows all my cores? Im rather unhappy about my CPU running at 35C, since i bought a really nice 70dollar aftermarket heatsink and fan, that i was told was amazing cooler for the core i7, but 35C while im just browsing the internet seems a little high for me.

    Is there another program out there that can give me a better read other than bios?

    Thanks for the replies.

    I tried Everest Ultimate. It is a trial version and look under sensors. I had a fan issue and it showed speed of all fans. I ended up replacing a bad fan.
    ps. I am not a licensed tech but was referred to everest by a tech.

    Hi

    35c is a great temp to have, but what is the CPU cooler you bought?

    Pitfall of temp monitors is not all of them can identify the temp chips correctly on especially new motherboards, until they are updated, which is why if your motherboard maker has a temp monitoring app, use that one for accurate temps, SpeedFans 20c seems way way too low for aircooled CPU, 35c would likely be correct.
