Temp Readings

unit505 · 13-July-06, 07:33 PM

I downloaded Speedfan today after seeing a recommendation on another post to compare the temps to PC Probe and found them exactly the same. That's good, I assume, but Speedfan registers a third temp. I have no idea what this temp is. Temp1 is the cpu, temp2 is the mobo, Temp3=?. Both hard drive temps are there and then there it lists a second temp1.
Temp1: 91f
Temp2: 86f
Temp3: 73f
HD0: 120f
HD1: 93
Temp1: 104f

I came in today and the house was about 90f so the higher temps do not surprise me, but temp3 @ 73f does. Can anyone answer this. The mobo is the ASUS A8nSLI.

Could be reading your video cards GPU temp, it picks up my 6800 Ultra's temps

And most people use Celsius to list temps, so it's hard to tell without a conversion chart how your system is performing compared to to others..don't ask why, it's just always been this way!

NVidia monitor shows it to be 46C. About 120f.

Temp1: 33c
Temp2: 29c
Temp3: 23c
HD0: 49c
HD1: 35c
Temp1: 40c

here is a chart you can convert to see what temps are. http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/...mpconvert.html

Here is another chart you can use that will help out too.

Well..there should be 3 temps it reads:

CPU temp
PWM temp
Case temp

By using the charting tool, you can easily identify CPU temps..it will jump right up.

PWM temps move a bit slower, they are your "Power Circuit" temps

Case temps should not change much under full load, try using Folding@Home to load the CPU

Ibeleive you got it. Case temp appears to be it. Oh yeah, I used your link and got two machines folding. Thanks!

Please excuse me for thread jacking but for some reason when I load up speed fan temp1 shows up at a 127c. Any clue whats going on? I know its not the cpu because it would have shut down allready, and I doubt its the PSU as the exhaust is pretty cool. Any ideas?

Just hit the "Configure" tab on the main page, you can select a different chip to read from there. You will just have to play around to find it, it did not detect it properly.

I have had happen before when the OC was a bit off during install, return it back to stock and remove and install it, make sure you have the latest version too...not all boards are fully supported, so sometimes it takes a bit of tweeking to get it right.
