sensors?

hey guys i have this program that came with my mobo, and its reading my temps at 70c for processor. but i have my alarm for my temps on my case at 60c, and the alarm hasnt went off. i know for a fact that the sensors on the case are not faulty because when i lower the alarm temps, they go crazy...whats going on? what do i trust hardware or software?

P.S. SPURS OWN ALL

 

ok i ran sandra, and it gave me some pretty high temps, but not quite as high as that program i was usin. it was some integrated one that came with my mobo...my main board was running at about 57c. i dont know whats wrong. i have a sensor thrown in the middle of my case, and it rarely gets above 37c. could there be something wrong with the mobo, im out of ideas???

 

ok, i went to the driver section for my mobo, but i dont know what drivers i would need to update. i dont think i need all of them, so which ones should i dl?

thats the link to the drivers page, can someone lemme know which drivers would help with the heat problem?

thks <3

 

temp in my room is about 22-24, never any higher. actually i think is alittle lower but my thermomiter is a cheap one, so a ballpark estimate is all i have.

 

if ur cpu is really running at 70C u have a serious problem. the ambient case temp should not exceed 40C, i always try to keep it under 35C. what is the programm called that u are using to check temps? i would recommend speedfan. its for free. what are ur ambient temps?
also are u using a 3rd party device as a temp sensor? if u are i would disregard what they read and trust ur mobo readings...

 

yah well i cant see why that is that all the temps in my case are dropped, EVEN THE CPU,(on idle) but whe i game it jumps to low to mid 60's. my room is an icebox concidering where i live the temp right now is 22c (about 70f). do yall think that if i used arctic silver it would make much of a difference? again the only time it heats up is when i game which probably means that the heat sync isnt getting the heat off the processor fast enough.

i know they say that amd's run hotter than p4's, so what is a good average temp for amd processors on both idle and full load?

oh i use everest to get my temps when im not looking at my bios screen. but i know bios are more accurate.
