This is probably stupid question but I was monitoring my CPU temperature and when I go to BIOS It shows 48-50*C
But Motheboard Monitor 5 and SpeedFan softwares both shows 76*C....
So which one is right ???
 
id go with your bios temps. u might want to see if there is an update for speedfan or mbm or if they are even compatible with your thermal sensors.
 
stick with bios or monitoring programs that came with the motherboard, for me, speedfan and mbm are all outta wack.

I would definately say your BIOS is showing the correct temperatures. If it was 76*C then I'm pretty sure you're PC would automatically turn off (depending how new your PC is) as that is a very high temperature. New PC's tend to have Heat protection things built-in the motherboard in order to prevent things from damage, etc...

I'm not sure why it's giving you different temps from within Windows though.
 
ight thx guys... I'd just like to have a little tray icon to see how is my CPU Temp, but I guess that won't work...:(
BTW_ Do you guys any other softwares that monitors temps. besides SpeedFan and MBM5 ???
