    Yes... Jobeo is correct. Read back to Post #952.

    I would trust the BIOS program for voltages, but temperatures I would trust CoreTemp.

    Speedfan comes up with some ridiculous voltages sometimes and the VID on CoreTemp is the 'recommended' voltage for your processor. Note: it doesn't change no matter what you do to the settings in the BIOS.

    The cpu temperature out of your BIOS program isn't read from the same sensor as your CoreTemp program so technically, both are right.

    what sensor does the bios program read from ? i'd like to trust coretemp for my therms cause its reporting about 6c lower than smart guardian...

    intel rates my proc as max 65c which i can hit with smart guardian where coretemp reports none of my cores higher than 58c... which should i trust ?

    The Bios sensor reads from a sensor based in your CPU socket whereas CoreTemp reads from the temperature sensor inside each core on your CPU. As far as I know, CoreTemp is the only program that can read from the temperature sensors inside your physical cores on your CPU, and is therefore classed as more accurate.

    Everest also reports the core temp and it is spot on with coretemp...
