Question about temperatures and voltage

I was looking at speedfan and I noticed a few things.

First I noticed that temperature fluctuates from one extreme to another as seen in the first 2 pics.
Also is my CPU running to hot? I had a few background applications running if that makes a difference.
What is the remote temperature correspond with?
And finally, should I be worried that my +3.3 voltage is at 2.6?

I also include a screen shot of my configuration, I don't know what it all means though

any help is appreciated and let me know if more screen shots are needed. Thank you
 
With those sorts of variations, I'd say it's a faulty reading for sure. Your +3.3V rail is way too low. If that reading is accurate, you'd probably be experience significant instability. Are you having any problems? Does the BIOS give the same reading? Do you have a multimeter to confirm it?
 
That's kind of a flaky reading when the cpu is at 29C with the board seen at 51C? When the board here initially reached 48C when first installed into the old case the cpu saw 44-46C right off. The hardware monitor in the bios confirmed the high temps there. The replacement case saw the board at 31C with the cpu at 33C confirmed in the bios. In the first and second jpgs the #4 temp would be the #1 hard drive here.
 
I checked my bios and I got a different reading that is around what it should be at (3.2), but it also said my CPU was running at 48C while the temp in the case was around 29C. I do experience some moments of lag when I feel I shouldn't (going from one tab in firefox to another, web pages loading, or going to different applications. I am not that concerned with lag as its probably a windows problem, but the temp has me a little worried
 
The top temp seen on the first SpeedFan screen is for the cpu itself. So you seeing the 48C there now or in the hardware monitor? ouch! Is that an idle or load temp there? If idle and you are running a stock hsf the thermal pad could be failing to see enough heat transfer due to bad bond or the fan is bogged down with dust and debris.

A lag going from one tab in FF or changing links in favorites or the links menu in IE can be a slow page load time due to your own ISP's servers or the site itself. That generally isn't effected by temps unless you are seeing an overheating problem. A glitch in IE itself? That's software like Windows.
 
system 29C
cpu 45C
those are the readings my bios give me when I start up my computer. When you say the top temp, are you referring to the one at the top of the screen that reads 29C or the highest temp that reads ~50C? Right now my remote temp is around 40 but on idle. I am not sure why it read so high for those screen shots. Also, what does the core temp mean? I thought that was the CPU temp

Edit: PC wizard says I am at 46C which is close to what the bios says. I have the CPU clock up from 200 to 215 and it was idle at 40C before I over clocked. Should I be concerned?

When you oc your cpu temps are going to climb period. This will also explain the erroneus errors seen with SpeedFan even though that's stiill a software that goes by the board's own sensors. Depending on how far you went in bringing up the multiplier you can easily see a 10C increase in just the idle temps. Now figure going from 50C idle to ??? with a good load. You'll want more then a stock heat sink and fan there!
