FurMark & Core Temp showing different temperatures

Post by videobruce »

There is a benchmark/torture test program called "FurMark" from oZone3D.net where the reported temperatures are way off. When you run the test, the temperature shows 30 degrees above what Core Temp shows right out of the box. After the program runs for a few minute3 the difference is 2x what Core shows. The readings are; 110c for FurMark and 55c for Core.

When I compared Core Temp within Windows at a idle state (no programs running), then rebooted into the Bios, the temps were within 3c of each other. Does Core Temp. read what the Bios reports for temp or it is not dependent of the Bios? IOW's can the Bios and Core Temp not agree with each other?

AMD Brisbane Athlon 64 4800


(I use to use MBM where you had to set all the parameters.)

Didn't know that. It wasn't apparent, I never saw a program that read the graphics processor temp. :eek:

I never heard of it before untill someone suggested that and Prime95 regarding possible heat issues with a Express card device. Since we we talking about processors (at least I assumed that), I also assumed both were CPU stress programs. The highly graphic screen that comes up does have Graphics on the screen, but the screen is too overly busy to notice unless you are looking for it which I wasn't.

I just wanted to be sure the reading I was getting was reasonably accurate, since I was 'stressing' the processor (which I don't overclock) for troubleshooting purposes.
