a little help

[Cereal Killer]

I just updated my BIOS and in BIOS my CPU temp is detected as 33 degrees C

but in PC Wizard it's 40 degrees C, is it the new BIOS or because I have Cool and Quiet disabled when my temps were alot lower before.

software programs are never accurate, that said neither is the bios to a certain extent, but the bios is much closer than software. more than likely the software your running is reading it wrong, try reinstalling the software you use to read it

I reinstalled the software and now the CPU temp isn't being displayed.

 

[Cereal Killer]

now in BIOS the temp is 37 degrees. What could have happened?

 

[toddm27]

temps are gonna fluctuate some, but the program I take it worked prior to upgrading the bios? if so then I'd say the program isn't reading the new bios properly

 

[Cereal Killer]

well I downloaded the latest version of PC Wizard and the CPU temps aren't detected in there but BIOS says it is running close to 40, isn't that a little high for a Venice core 3000+ ? the fan also seems to be running slower.

that is quite high for a 3000, i use to have a 3500 on 33 degrees and now im on Athlon X2 4400+ and that at idle is around 37 degrees.

I would get that checked out, check your fans properly, check for any dust etc have you overclocked this? this could affect it.

you have nothing to worry about, 40* C is not a problem, even if the program is accurate.

 

[AY786]

for a 3000, i would be quite worried

 

[wee96]

No, 40c isnt even remotely something to worry about on a 3000+.

still, 40 idle... That's pretty high. Even if it's not bad for the processor, it's bad for the epenis. You might wanna reseat that bad boy (HSF).

 

[toddm27]

is it a new board and processor or did it just start after you updated the bios?
