I think PC Wizard is the best

Look at the "Core temps" the "cpu" temp seems to always be bs

Dude, downloading does not stress your processor.

Download Prime95, and run 4 instances of that, 1 per core. Nothing will ever make your CPU as hot as that will.

lol I have the q6600 too, and let me tell you, pc wizard sucks for it >_>...or i just got unlucky. core temp doesn't show the right temp either. (pc wiz showed 190 celcius for proc temp, and core temp shows around 50 celcius for the four cores) I checked my comp to see if it was running that hot because I doubted it, I even touched the heatsink. sooo, I installed the In-OS software (easytune) from my motherboard (gigabyte p35) and it showed me the actual temp, which ended up being 30C.


Point of this being...either I got a buggy temp sensor in processor, or you should just check what bios says for your temps.
good luck

Yeah Bios will be most accurate

i'd go with if its not rebooting on its own is not high enough
