hmm... I might get it JUST for the screen capability....

As it is, I just found out that I can load much more on the screen than the basic crap they bundled the software with

core2duo_e6300+@2.4Ghz/CoolIt Freezone cooler/vcore 1.4vs/idle 18C/Fload 28C

thx! thats all i wanna hear ^^v

and you're truly a temp expert.

/crowd rowars

Can't help but detect a very strong sense of sarcasm there....

I'm not gonna say that I've updated the list (again!) from now on. We'll just assume I'll update the list everytime I post something on this thread.

Also, anyone got any ideas where I might upload an Excel file, cos all this info would be much easier read on an Excel file. Or even better, can techspot support tables on the forums?

OMFG! that little program of your crash my system. I got BSOD with [fatal error] that really scare the crap outa me. My system never crash in years ever since I got it. My EVEREST Ultimate Edition do the job (checking my system temp) just fine, I don't really know why you criticized it. Even my ATI tool show the same temp as in Everest, so that mean its pretty much 99% accurate.

That little program of yours in the readme file contain no info on what system its compatible with. I swear i'm not gonna use cheap free program. I advice the rest don't try it as well until someone verified it its safe or compatible with your current system, mind is window XP PRO.

lol maybe its a bsod file and he just wanted to have fun?

This is his little program on his original post. Some1 download his exe and check if its safe. Unfortunately it crashed my system when i tried it.

I feel bad for the OP, he think i'm here like the rest to force him to update his temp stats with my name on when I'm merely asking a simple question.

OP you got it all wrong, i'm not here to get my name on your list, that list of your are confusing, like someone said making /xxxx/xxxx/xxxx/xxxx is confusing and put strain to the eyes.

anyway i'm happy with my temp, i'll leave this thread as it was.

Although I didn't specify this in the first post, I did later mention that I will not be checking if anyone who posted here has followed the instructions in the first post. This therefore means you can use ANY temp program you're comfortable with, including Everest. However, it seems like you're having some problems with Everest, since your temps stay the same at idle and load.
The readme doesn't contain any system requirements info, but if you had googled "core temp", you'd have found the website with the system requirement info. Which can be found here.

I know having the list like it is at the moment is quite confusing, and the absolute best way of putting this list up is in a table. Unfortunately, that means I'll have to look for a site, and actually update it, which takes that much more of my time, so this is the best I can come up with. Its relatively simple, meaning you can just look up your processors, and the last 2 numbers are the idle and load temps. And if you're interested in the other pieces of information on it, its there.

At the moment, there are tons of programs which reads temps, and is specifically for that purpose. This one is recommended in a few other forums. I did not write it, and I'm linking it straight to its source, if there is a problem with the program itself, you'd have to talk to the programmers. If anyone else runs into problems running this program, I'll remove the link.

Pentium 4 Prescott 560 3.6 auto/Titan Vanessa 'S'/1.57v/idle 39C/load 54C

This is where you're wrong. First of all the program I'm using cost $, its highly accurate, the temp for my video card on the ATI overdrive said its 53*c , same goes for Everest and its constant changing. Secondly you haven't even try out that program yet, the light version of Everest. Third your program is out of date; hence my PC crash only due to incompatible program that exe on current window to protect my system from further damage. Lastly my temp aren't always stay at 41c* its goes from 39 to 41*c. I should make it clear from the start, but than again you shouldn't just judge what i said nor what program I used unless you have experience with it.

ok but its little to late and it doesn't matter, that program you linked is either incompatible with my system or its out of date.

those list are fine, its all those / / / / are confusing, & pretty much everyone has the same idle temp and load temp as I do. All they need do is type their heat sink brand - idle temp and loading temp. For example for my PC:
ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 64 for CPU: 39-41c* idle and load (awesome cpu cooler that never let me down)
AC Accelero Pro Cooling Fan with Heatsink for my X1900xt 512 mb: idle 53*c and 63*c while heavy load (playing BF2142, Jade Empire etc)


ty but no ty, i learn my lesson, not going to use cheap, out of date program no more. Again OP i'm not here to have my stats input into your OP. It was merely a test but in the end it cost me a BSOD -_-v

peace

After i added a new Cooler Master fan and heatsink.

Don't assume I didn't use Everest. I actually DID get the ultimate version to play around. Its not the latest version though, and I recently upgraded my comp, which required a format :S

Its a great program, I loved it, gave me everything I needed to know. But my version gave conflicting temp readings with the other readers, I don't really know which would be the most accurate, in fact, I know for a fact that NOT A SINGLE software temp monitor would display accurate results. High school Physics is enough to reach that conclusion.

Anyway, I'm not defending CoreTemp, just that unless there are more incidences, it could be just your comp having a bad day, or its incompatible with something or another on your comp. I'm recommending that everyone uses the same program, so there's less factors involved, but like I said over and over again, I don't care what you use to check your temps AS LONG AS you post everything I need in one thread, preferably in the order mentioned in the first post.

Also, something like this is only of real value if ALOT of people post, so if you're just checked here and cannot find your processor temps, or your heatsink, or if you have found this useful, please post your temps, even if it is exactly the same, or very similar to another person's temps.

Sorry but i have an asus board and i use asus probe and it's Manual advice.
This can also be found in the bios.
=================
My temp is there in my Snapshot as OK.
That answers your ?
=================
It's 22 C or 73 F at the moment.Thats Cool

What is considered "too HOT" ?

quote by your own word "Hmmm... Never used Everest as a way to determine temps, just too big and bulky for something so simple :P"

You're full of it. ATI overdrive report to me that my video card temp were 53 while in idle, that same temp also report in Everest as in 53*c range as well when I compare the two.
I know they're accurate because I'm using the best temp detection tool, not cheap unreliable one for my system. Even those tool aren't accurate as you claim, but at least I know they won't give me BSOD which force me to hard reset.

You begin to sound like you don't have a clue on your own excuses. While you're also repeating what I said on the incompatible area. Worst of all , you never edited your post on warning about that CoreTemp might affect other XP PRO user. Again I'm NOT here to have my temp record on your silly thread, I'm here to ask a simple question as if my current temp are normal, which I also supply you with a sample screenshot of my current temp and NOT about Everest. All you need to do is said "that look fine buddy " was that so hard on your part? The stupidest part was why would you wanna criticizing what program I used? When we should focus on temp like you stated?

I know my temp very well, as well as getting the best temp detection tools. My objective here was to test if you know what you're doing. Obviously the experience was disturbing

oooh, come on now play nice...

It seems, however, that the program's accuracy is not as important as the sensors. It doesn't matter if Everest, ASUS Probe, SpeedFan, CoreTemp, etc., all tell you the same temp; if the sensor isn't accurate, it doesn't matter what the program says.

I don't believe that there should be much, if any difference, whether somebody's using Everest or CoreTemp. It's just that you get more system info with Everest.

Take it easy, guys

hey guys ; i apologize for over reacting about that BSOD incident =D

i should just write it in a well manner precaution about that CoreTemp instead of ranting on the OP.

My ultimate gaming PC is like a Ferrari to me. ^_^v

PS. EVEREST Ultimate Edition won't show the user temp status if your is a trial version.

IMO Everest is the best darn program I used to check on my friend PC to determine what video card he's using before getting an driver for his specific card. Being a heavy high end gamers, i rely it alot to check temp and when is time for system cleaning.

zzz, I never said I was on a trial version.

Btw, kitty500cat clarified something I said, programs don't matter if your sensor isn't accurate. And the sensor sure isn't accurate. For it to be, you'll have to personally calibrate it every time to take a temperature reading, and I must say I am 100% sure you have never calibrated your sensor. For that alone, I'll have to say even if 100 programs show the exact same temp, it is still inaccurate.

I am just defending myself here, but when I said I never used Everest to determine temps, I never said I didn't use it to check temps. If I wanted to know my temps, I used different programs, but I used to have everest on, and it was handy to just use that for a rough reading. I use a different program mainly because thats what I've always been using, and changing programs just because the other can also show just isn't good science.

Which means if you've always been using everest, keep using it.

Its just that I personally believe that something made just for a specific reason will perform better than something thats not. I do realise its a very general statement, and probably not true in all cases, but it definately is in some cases. Maybe not this one.

Also, I did say your temps were fine. And you quoted that as well, which I thought might have sounded sarcastic. That was just before your comp crashed, and all this happened.

I might also add that I'm an XP Pro user. Just because it crashed on your comp doesn't mean its not compatible with XP Pro, or anything else your computer is running, which is why I'm not editing my first post, or warning anyone about possible complications of the program. I've mentioned it before, and I'll mention it again: a single incident may be from an accident, and does not warrant a warning. If it did, in the medical field, there will be absolutely no medications which does not come with the warning "May cause death or grevious injury", because for every drug out there, there would have been someone who died, or got seriously injured while using the drug. Doesn't mean that the drug was the cause, or had anything at all to do with it. Just because something hapened when the guy took the drug is no excuse that that was the cause.

I hope all that didn't seem heated, because that wasn't my intention. I'm just trying to explain why nothing is accurate, and why I'm not taking much notice about your BSOD and CoreTemp.

Just wondering, I feel like I know what I'm doing here. I've actually spend ALOT of time reading up stuff on cooling, I've actually messed around alot with cooling in respect to computers, and sometimes more. I don't claim I know everything, in fact, I want to state right now that I'm just probably just scratching the surface on the whole concept of cooling in computing.

Before I continue, I want to say I won't take any offense to what you say (although I did about most of your points in the 2 longer posts), but I'd like to know why you think that I've got no idea about what I'm doing.

Since you asked, i'll gladly answer :P

1. you had to use cheap temp program that was unstable on other system, when Everest was the best, reliable and stable to do that kind of job (it got the best heat sensor). EVEREST Ultimate Edition won't let you see your temperature when its a trial version, that's where you had to use cheap program like CoreTemp.

2. You criticized on the program i used to check for temp when my question were obviously pointing toward heat temp and NOT about what program I'm using.

3. You stated EVEREST Ultimate Edition wasn't accurate enough for reading temp when the fact ITS. Even through you had used it, your probably was a trial version, and trial version DON"T show your current temp. There you had to resort in using freewares like CoreTemp.

4. You keep on making a big deal when my question was easy as 1/2/3 to answer, and you keep on nagging about " I WON"T update my list for you" or "that program of yours isn't for that job) when I stated many time, that I'm here just to ask a simple question about temp.

5. When I praised you, it was sincere yet you assumed it was sarcasm. You got everything wrong for your silly pride. Just because you post on this section often doesn't make you better than anyone here.

again sry for the rant. my problem has been solved, so moving along)

Well, Everest Ultimate (I have the full version) wouldn't read correctly my CPU temp.

Coretemp and Speedfan read it correctly
