Gigabyte P35-DS3R CPU temperature reading

[tsowen]

Hello,

I have a question about the CPU temperature reading on the P35-DS3R board. I have an E6600 CPU. When idle, EasyTune5 reports system/CPU temperature 33/24C. However, both speedfan and CoreTemp report 37/40C for core 0 and core 1. It looks like the system/CPU temperature readings in EasyTune5 match the temp1/temp2 in speedfan. Which temperature reading is more accurate?

thanks,

System temp would be the chipset temp. It says 40C idle here, 44C after gaming, but it feels warmer when I touch the heatsink.

Maybe I should install EasyTune5 from the install DVD ? Everest Home, SpeedFan or BIOS don't show correct voltages (+12v for example)
