CPU temperature?

im4eversmart · 17 Jun 2013

So my computer has been getting overheat errors lately

My pirform defraggler says im at 38 C but CoreTemp gives a more comprehensive real time temperature on my 4 cpu cores, from 70c to 95c

So who exactly should I trust, and am i getting genuine overheat error?

I just cleaned out my heat sink but the temperature seems to be the same

I don't use Defraggler, but I don't see why it would be giving a CPU core temperature. It's probably giving you the hard drive's temperature.

Anyway, 70 to 95°C is very hot. What CPU do you have?

We need this in order to give proper guidance.

System Info - See Your System Specs

Take a look at (My System Specs) in lower left corner of this post. I will give you a idea of things that can be added.

I use Real Temp to monitor temps. It works quite well with Intel chips.
Real Temp - CPU temperature monitoring

Another nice program is HWmonitor.

Thanks for posting your specs.
