I was reading forums and came across a program known as "Core Temp". Supposedly, it gives more accurate readings of your cpu temperature than your bios does. I was wondering if these temperatures were accurate because with AI booster, i got temps of 40 degrees, but with Core Temp, i got Temperatures of 36 degrees. Does anyone know if this program is more accurate or less accurate than the bios?
Core Temp is supposedly accurate. And if I were you, I'd dump AI Booster.

I have an SLI rig I just built in the past year and I'm using an Asus mobo and there's one thing I can tell you 100%, and that's do what jam said and dump AI Booster. It's a terrible application that will only cause you more pain down the road.
