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.

My objective here was to test if you know what you're doing. Obviously the experience was disturbing
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.
