Everest vs Driver: Temp Discrepency.

[Nobi125]

I have a BFG 6800GT OC (dual fan version) and the driver claims the card is idling at 65 Degrees with an ambient temp of 42 Degrees.

Everest is reporting a idle GPU Temp of 55 Degrees and an ambient temp of 42 Degrees.

They are both reporting the same ambient temp, but which one is right about the GPU temp?

 

[Mr. Stryker]

i'd probably think Everest is right

 

[Nobi125]

hmm, it's just hard to tell.

 

[Dudeyourlame]

i wouldnt worry about it.. niether of those temps are going to make your video card splode or anything

 

[(cf)Eclipse]

what drivers are you using?

 

[Chix4mat]

I'd take whatevers higher personally.. as long as they are only a few degrees apart.

 

[legcramp]

speefan+everest reports the same temps b/c they use the same sensors..... I would go with the one in the control panel which is 10c higher exactly...since that's what most people go by anyways...

I am running the new 77.72 whql drivers.
