I did check them. The accurate temps (the first 3 in Speedfan on the right and the ones listed under his motherboard) are pretty much the same, with the exception of a 1C difference on the system temperature. The Core Temps reading as 0C is most likely a software bug.
If you check my post, you will see that I have a temperature reading in HWMonitor of one component on my mobo where its reading 90C. I've seen it go as high as 200C. My computer is still functioning, therefore I doubt any part of my mobo was ever at 200C.
Maybe..... I know nothing about AMD. Perhaps someone with AMD experience can chime in on what's going on with the temp monitoring programs. Didn't even realize that Real Temp didn't work with AMD processors. I just assumed they all worked with both.
At this point in time I have no answer.
BTW on your ASROCK monitoring system it says CPU temp is 32c, which sounds far better (reasonable) than 0c. So yeah.... seems those other programs aren't reading the temps correctly. 32c to me would make much more sense than 0c.
My two cents.
And thanks :)
Thank you for taking time to look at my problem, I think the software that came with the motherboard is trustworthy, its the only 1 which states Phenom X6 CPU ready. the 1100T only came out in December, maybe the monitoring programs don't cater for it yet. Don't know if anyone else with an AMD Phenom X6 has tried 3rd party monitors but I hope this will stop someone having a coronary when they see the monitors results.
At least 1 thing is good, Core Temp called my CPU an AM3, most of the other programs call it an AM2+, It should be AM3 but my Motherboard caters for AM2,AM2+ and AM3, that's why I got it (Only £50) really as a stepping stone between CPU's so I could still upgrade while having it still running.

Quite odd, as the OP in this thread has your CPU:

Oh I see, sorry my eyes are a little weak and cyan sometimes slips right through my optical vision.
Yes HW Monitor is picking up his CPU just fine. He has a different motherboard, maybe that's it, This core is guaranteed for 3 years and I have just had it so if It is faulty it would be better to know now. Just the drama of getting a new 1, When it wouldn't install in the beginning (Due to BIOS and my lack of knowledge) the company I got it from would have sent 1 straight away, and I had 30 days to return it, Meaning i could swap it out and then send old 1 back leaving me still up and running. But don't know if that would still be a card I could play now and would perhaps have to go through AMD?
