Low Temp Limit?

Post by Nibble »

Hi all, just registered.
This may sound odd, and I tried to look around for it, but I could find anyone with the problem that I have, and it may not be a problem with CoreTemp, maybe with the cpu/motherboard senors. CoreTemp never shows temps lower than 3c. My temps do raise above 3c obviously, but I'm fairly sure that they go below 3c as well. Does CoreTemp not read temps below 3c?

This is not a Core Temp issue per se but a sensor limitation.
All Core2 sensors have a low point below which temperature changes are no registered. I've seen most sensors bottom out at around 7-13c, so 3C is pretty low all by itself.
Basically what I'm saying is that this is normal.

Right on, I wasn't sure, and couldn't seem to find anything that definitively said one way or the other.

Thanks
