Hello all,
I just built a new system (not the one in my sig, sorry), and I am looking for the best, most accurate way of assessing CPU temps.
Speedfan reports my CPU as idling at nearly 50c, which seems quite high.
Upon restarting and going into BIOS, I see that BIOS reports the CPU temp at 31c.
Should I trust BIOS (it's an ASUS P5Q Pro mobo by the way) over speedfan? Are there better windows-based CPU monitoring software?
Thanks for looking!
