CPU Temperature 100 celsius!!!???!!

Speedfan shows this data

GPU: 63C
Temp1: -55C
Temp2: -2C
Temp3: 36C
Core 0: 46
Core 1: 43

Seems to have cooled down

Speedfan is reporting temps not in the critical area but a little to wacky temp1 -55c? temp 2 -2c?

Phantom readings. Speedfan reports everything the sensor chip supports where there is a sensor attached or not, and just needs to be removed from showing in the configuration settings,.

Can you post a screen shot of CPU-Z - CPUID - System & hardware benchmark, monitoring, reporting and a screenshot of Core Temp

Here's some info on how to post an image.....

Thanks.

Just out of interest is there a difference between a core and a cpu

The the number of cores work together to make up one CPU. Each core can process a seperate function or work together in unison in the CPU. In this case you CPU has two cores.

The CPU temp is the overall temp of the entire CPU whereas the core temps are the individual temps of each core.

Hope this helps.

Then if they are both over heated why is Core 1 only 1.73ghz?

Did you see my post about posting screenshots? It's the best way to get your questions answered.

Thanks

Vatec,
The Cores will throttle up and down independently.

And I wouldn’t pull off your CPU cooler unless you have thermal grease or compound on hand to reapply.
Thermal grease - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is not recommended using old grease.

Out of curiosity, what case are you using?
