Hello I have just downloaded a program called SpeedFan 4.07. It says: TEMP3 48C HD0 46C HD1 42C TEMP1 40C TEMP2 127C I have also Hmonitor and Sandra installed on my computer. According to Hmonitor TEMP1 (40C) is mainboard temperature. When i go to BIOS temperature it's same there. I'm OK with my harddrives temperature. According to Sandra my processors temperature is 127C and i'm thinking what the hell? But this is NOT POSSIBLE, my processor would burn. I'm confused about TEMP3. Can anyone tell me what's going on?

stick to the software thats close to your bios readings. Different software give different readings. And no...its not possible for your cpu to have a true temp reading of 127c and still run.

There are three types of sensors; Diode, Thermistor and Resistor. Most CPU temp is taken from Diode. In Hmonitor there is a check screen to select what you want. Sendra default setting from one of the two software you installed. Hope this helps.

127=48C isnt hot mines running at 52C and thats normall but i have an amd if u have an itel then thats something to worrie about. Iv sean some amd's at 70C and still running.

I don't know about P4 chips but I kow AMD chips don't start to fail untill they reach about 95C And for the problem I found on my K7S5A that the diode readings were usually about 70C off on the high side, while the thermister readings were dead on.

I've had an Athlon 1400 running Seti@Home 24/7 for about a year now at 68ºC and that's a rock solid system, goes for months without needing a reboot.

this is for Jacob. the guy said 127C not farenheit. so thats crap hot and not true. and for ben rogers. 68C is quite hot. not yet fatal but very hot. but if you way it works good then thats great!
