So I've recently moved back in with my mum. In a colder climate (it's also winter here) and my CPU temp is still apparently 37c on both cores. I've felt the cooler and it's as cold as ice! The ambient temp here is about 15c, so i doubt the cpu is getting that hot.
In this exact climate, 1 year ago, running the exact same overclock, the temp was 22c for both cores on idle.
Is there anyway to test for a stuck sensor? I have prime95, fired it up and watched the temps slowly rise for about 10 mins, and as soon as i stopped both workers the temps instantly went back to 37c.
I have realtemp, that has an option for a sensor test. what does this do exactly? I'm not sure how to use it.
In the mean time I'll reboot and check what the BIOS says for temps.
EDIT: All my other components are running cooler. Checked the BIOS and it says CPU is 24c, does that mean that every single temp program is wrong? they all report 37c
