Not sure which temp program to go by

I just completed my new build last night and am starting to work on my first overclock.

I have a few different programs up to monitor temps and I'm not sure what to go by.

I'm at stock voltage right now and I'm running at 2.5 Ghz (350x4).

Intel TaT says my temps are 65C & 65C. (I'm running Orthos right now)
Speedfan says temp1 is 37C and temp2 is 57C.

What do most people here use? I'd like to compare my temps but I guess it depends on what program is common in these parts.

Finally, is 65C safe if that's the correct temp? I don't want to leave Orthos running while I got to work if that's too hot.

Thanks for any feedback. =)
 
I use core temp, seems most people trust this the most.
 
I use TAT personally. I think it's the most accurate.

BTW, with the stock cooler @ 2.4Ghz I was hitting 58C at default VCORE. Setting the VCORE down to 1.275 brought it down to 51C. Right now I'm running @ 3.2Ghz with a Thermalright SI-128 with a coolermaster 120mm fan and at load my temps are 58C.
 
Technically, intel specs say 60.1 is the point where things go bad, so if you're running hotter than that...well, I'm guessing your not actually running that hot :) Try coretemp, it's what most people use!

Also, just so you dont worry, intel's processors slow down if they hit dangerous temps, to avoid damage!
 
Thanks for the responses. Coretemp is reporting the same thing as TaT - 66C/66C. Maybe I did a crappy job applying my AS5 although I tried my best to follow their directions.

Two hours into Orthos though, I'm still stable. :)
 
Tat = Intel Thermal Analysis Tool... Google has it :)


Yeah, Core Temp and TAT report the same thing for me... SG, Speedfan and my mobo program all report temps 7c cooler...

Core temp has ALWAYS been accurate for me.
 
honestly any on-die temp monitor is better than a mobo diode.

ITE sensors ie. Speedfan, MBM are not accurate

and coretemp and TAT are ondie

thus trust the ondie
