CPU temperature inaccurate?
When I use programs such as Speccy or Core Temp, it will tell me that my pc is cooler than the room temperature. Is there any way to fix this? I am running the latest Bios from HP. My pc has done this ever since it was new.

Yes...your CPU and GPU temps will be lower than your rooms ambient temperature. That's because of the fans...that's what they are designed to do. If your temps are higher than your room temp...then there is a definite cooling problem with your system.
My room temp is between 70 and 72 degrees and my CPU and GPU temps are cool and steady at 35 and 40 degrees respectively. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom built

My room temp is between 70 and 72 degrees and my CPU and GPU temps are cool and steady at 35 and 40 degrees respectively. Fans circulate air. They don't have coolent in them or cold liquids or anything that could make it cooler than room temp. | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop
