you must know that core temp and TAT take temperature from the core so its not the same as in the past where we always use the temp on mobo/IHS as the standard so if 60deg on mobo is acceptable then 75deg on core temp should be pretty fine.
Excuse me? Don't go talking like I don't know, go even ask Rambo! Get your facts before you talk.
But judging be the scale we all know, TAT is wrong. We can concur that 60*C is a bad temp to be at (talking Core 2 duos). It even says in the manual and BIOS. If something tells me its above 10*C than anything else, I can say that TAT must have something wrong. with TAT then 70*C is bad. But no one else goes by the way TAT reads. It confuses others so IMO its not the best one to chose.
ADE;638417 If something tells me its above 10*C than anything else said:Not wrong, just different. Calm down . It isn't the end of the world. TAT is just a different way of looking at things, and it is good. Confusion leads to finding out new information and therefore learning.

My temps are 10 degrees higher with Intel Tat than either the bios or any other program. I'm not saying it's wrong just that it's quite a difference.
I was also wondering why cpu 1 is greyed out? I can't do anything with it but the temp on there does change. I'm just wondering if Windows is having a problem with the second core as far as recognizing it? In the device Manager it is showing 2 processors but something is up.
Any clues?
What processor have you got? Some processors have a virtual second processor or a co-processor, so in actual fact it's not a true dual core, therefore TAT will not recgonise it as dual core.
C2D 6400, it's a dual core or Intel is lying to me .
