Temps in Vista and XP?

[BrokeDown]

So, according to HW Monitor and Everest

Vista = 35c idle/ 55c load
XP = 20c idle/ 35c load

What gives?

[hollaback04]

tjunction reads 85c on xp 100 on vista
im not sure looks like it hehe

What does bios show?

[BrokeDown]

bios shows around 35c, but BIOS is also loading the cpu a bit too.

[starlon]

I'm sure BIOS is generating a lesser load than XP.

I'd be interested to see what it says in Linux.

What does latest coretemp say? I would trust it or the very latest beta of Everest.

BIOS generates alot more load than idling in Windows.

I'd say the Vista temps are correct though.

[Xilikon]

Yes, Vista is correct. If it read the wrong tjunction, your temps will be 15C off. Just add 15C to your XP temps and you get a accurate picture.

Coretemp 0.96.1 reads
Core 1 -8c
Core 2 1c

Everest 4.10.1128 Beta reads
Core 20c
Core 1 -8c
Core 2 2c

How does the BIOS do that? It is just sitting there, windows is tinkering with stuff half the time :confused:

[Kilyin]

Try it, load up your BIOS and let it sit in the BIOS screen for 15-30 mins, your CPU will heat up well past the point of the temperature it idles at in Windows. I don't have a technical explanation, but that's always been the case in my experience.

It's possible BIOS puts a single thread load on the cpu for pre-boot temperature testing
