Just fitted a Noctua-U12P on my Q6600 ( Gigabyte P35-DS4 )
as seen in
I use EasyTune 5 to monitor temps as its made by Gigabyte, i used to get around 37C idle with the crappy stock cooler, and with EasyTune im getting 19-21C with new cooler. THis is also shown in bios. However, when i check CoreTemp, it says the cores are at around 37-38C - how does this make sense?
I don't see how there can be nearly double the temp, so which one is really telling the truth so i can know how much to overclock the quad?
Thanks very much,
Addicted
EDIT: trying realtemp - it seems to have correct(?) tjunctions and is showing the same temps as what the other software is getting?
which app is correct?
Strange Readings?

Core Temp report is correct, TJ Max is 100 C. Try the latest RealTemp and you'll see that it's fixed in RealTemp.
Take a look at my screenshot (same CPU, Q6600@3GHz):

aka what real temp is saying
EDIT: new realtemp says theyre at 30 idle, so i suppose thats better than coretemp at least (with tjmax as 90)

Oh, yes yours is B3, mine is G0 so I think that there is a difference of 10 C.
