Hello,
A few weeks ago I bought a new PC with a dual core processor (3800+). In the last few days I checked the temperatures with a few programs like everest, Sisandra, SpeedFan etc but each say soemthing else. what I mean by that, is that they all detect the same C numbers but associate it with a different part. for example, Everest reports the MB is 32C and the CPU is 70C while PC Wizard 2006 reports CPU as 25C. SpeedFan I dont even know which part is which since it only names them as Temp1, Temp2, Temp3 etc.
Problem is, that Everest, SensorsView and Sisandra (partly and I'll explain why) think its the CPU at 70C. when I say Sisandra is partly saying its the CPU, its because under "Mainboard information" it says CPU 1 temp 34C but CPU 2 temp 70C while on the "CPU & BIOS" section it says each core is 32-34C. and the tip it gives me is that the mainboard is too high temperature. so as you can see they're conflicting their own readings.
When I go to the BIOS it always says the CPU temp is around 35C and I even set it to alert me at 60C.
Last night, while being on windows I started to hear short one second beeps coming from the inside of the PC and I had to shut the PC down to make it stop. when I turn it on a minute later it was fine as usual. this morning, I guess after PC was turn on for max an hour, it started with the beeps again. and again now as I type this message and I was clicking on "Mainboard information" in Sisandra it started again so I restarted the PC.
I have an Award BIOS and looking here it says "If an Award BIOS detects that the CPU is overheating it may play a high pitched repeating beep while the computer is running." - by running I assume they mean while being on windows because I dont get any beeps at startup (except the one long beep that tells me all is OK). anyway, according to that page it sounds like a CPU problem. the CPU fan is spinning fast as usual and the other day when I touched the side of the heatsink, it wasn't very hot. so I dont know what to believe, some temp programs say its the CPU overheating at 70C while the BIOS say 34-36C. I came across a forum where someone thought maybe its a problem with dual cores doubling the temp. for example if the temp is 35C then Core 1 35C + Core 2 35C = 70C. it does make sense in a way but still I cant count on that, esp. with the beeps I started to get last night.
I was wondering, is there a way that one core can overheat more than the other? I thought they are close to one another but Sisandra reports the second core as 70C while the first 34C. its a huge difference. I dont overclock at all. I have a ThermalTake Soprano Black case with one 120 fan at the back, 120 fan at the front and 80 fan on the side panel. the Videocard is passively cooled (Gigabyte 6600GT - NX66T128VP model) as well as the MB (Gigabyte K8N-SLI). here are some screenshots of the temps in different programs, any help would be appreciated!
