Ok I know this is really noobish, but which temps are what on speedfan?

The best way is to use Everest, and note which temps are the same, then rename them on speedfan so you know which is which.

I can only tell that the HD0 is the hard drive, and that the Core is the CPU. Other then that, you will need to compare it to everest or the BIOS.
 
ooo ok so it really wasn't that noobish. :D

Downloading everest now

now that has surely got to be wrong? My vcore should be 1.55v...and my CPU couldn't possibly be 24C, in the BIOS is is at minimum 29C

edit again:
I forgot that the version of Everest that I had was 1.5.xx...I'm now downloading 3.5. Maybe that will work better. :)

Now that's more like it.

What is the difference between CPU and CPU Diode/Core?

What is temp3 that reports 3C?
 
Well, CPU Diode/core is probably the temp of the actual core, while CPU is probably the heatsink on the core (not your HSF, the metal block on the processor itself). But I could be wrong.
 
Core temp is the temp inside the core of the CPU.
CPU temp is the temp if the piece of motherboard directly underneath the CPU.

And, either Temp2 or Temp3 is your Northbridge. Whichever one changes when you change the NB voltage is the one. It tends to stay constant, no matter what load is put on the CPU.

My guess is that the CPU diode is in the actual CPU (hence the higher temp), and the CPU temp is whats located on the top of the motherboard, between itself and the CPU.

Why does it matter?

Athlon 64 3500

Oh and in reference to whomever said that the NB does not increase with CPU load:
At 200MHz (core speed):
Core Idle: 24C
Core Load: 33C
NB Idle: 28C
NB Load:35C

wow... I was simply asking because if you had a recent Intel CPU you could use Intel TAT, which will tell you the actual temp of the CPU, so you can know for sure which temp goes to what.
