Discussion about varying nos.from temps programs led to this test.
I ran
(1) CPUID Hardware Monitor (HWM)
(2) Core Temp 96.1 .........(CT)
(3) Sensors View Pro........(SVP)
(4) Speed Fan 4.33 ........(SF)
(5) INTEL Desk Utilities.....(IDU)
............................................................all at once.
I used PC Wizard 2008 Windows Benchmark as stressor. .SVP shows MUCH higher stress than SuperPi
My system: Gateway c2d E6400(2.13ghz) 2gb generic RAM(533hz?) 400gb Hitachi HD XFX 8600 GTxxx Arctic Freezer Pro CPU Cooler VISTA Ultimate ....
HWM,CT,SVP kept almost identical nos., about 15c (+/- 2)......HIGHER ! .... than SF,IDU (which were also almost identical).....
It is my belief that Intel engineers who fabbed this chip,should be the baseline
Unfortunately,IDU only shows one core temp,but it appears to be (0) the hotter one,and they show numerous MBO temps.
SF has good charts,but I still need to learn more to setup
To me,the most surprising result was to find by far my hottest component was ICH on MBO,reached 80c+ My CPU idled 48-50,maxed 63-65,but I have lots more fan speed (can hardly hear it) if i ever learn how to increase!

Later ...(ArcticPro7 has fins bent to deflect airflow to MBO (stock) , ICH 80c at IDLE! DROPS to 76 at max.)
