    I have tried multiple programs to see the temperature on my netbook (AOA150) and none of the programs show the same temperature. I attached a screenshot to show you.
    Does anyone happen to know a program that actually show the correct temperature?

    I'd say Speedfan or HWmonitor is the most accurate far as I can tell when holding my hand under the netbook and feeling how warm the air the fan blows out is.

    As far as CPU temps go find the TMax of the T5800 by searching for it on intels site (quick google) and you can adjust the ini file for hwmonitor (same folder as app after fist run) to read correctly.

    CPU temps are based on the TMax attribute which isnt actually reported by the cpu so its iffy if a program knows the correct value. GPU temps usually read accurate but drivers and video bios can have an effect. The case and hdd temps should be accurate.

    Thanks for the reply.

    I noticed I wasn't very clear, but I meant my netbooks CPU (Acer Aspire one AOA150) which got an Atom N270 CPU. However I checked the TJMax for the N270 (Which is 90 btw) and changed it in the ini file, and now it shows about 35C~ idle, which is more realistic than what everest said (55-60C).

    It's good to know that tiny little CPU ain't sweating as much as I thought it did :)

    Just so you know everest also has an option for adjusting the tjmax (lol at me calling it tmax, its been awhile).

    EDIT - LOL@CoreTemp showing the tjmax. I never looked at your screen shot, and while you cant always go off what an app says or thinks as i said before. Core Temp is a pretty good app.
