Has any concensus been reached about the accuracy of "CoreTemp?"

[mascarilha]

yes , i also think Coretemp its the best way to see temps :


with Opteron 165 = 32c >>>>>>>>> X1800XT = 35c

With Intel 920 D >>>>>>>>>> X1800XT = 44c

with Conroe E6400 >>>>>>>>> X1800XT = 42c


CPU + VGA >> watercooled .


so the only reason i find to X1800XT its + 7c hot with Conroe than with opty 165 its because the water from CPU to VGA came Hot (+7c) in Conroe that with Opteron 165 , so :


If i have 32c in opty 165 the conroe should be +7c hot = 32c + 7c = 39c


My temps E6400 :

Speedfan > 26c

Bios >> 26c

Core Temp >> Core1 = 41c || Core2 = 40c

Everest >> Core1 = 41c || Core2 = 40c


so CoreTemp and everest seams to be more accurate with my previous temps calculations (32c +7c = 39c)



and other thing , now that the days here are colder my E6400 last night with speedfan reads 15c what i think its impossible ( Core Temp read 30c):









and today :









sory for my bad english
