    Anyone care to help a newbie understand my G1S temp readings

    Given the paranoia I have now since this is my 2nd G1S (due to problems) I decided to take a look at my temps. Granted I'm a newbie and my head is now spinning trying to figure out what utility to use then how to understand the readings.

    I would appreciate it if anyone can give me their opinions on my following readings...thanks much in advance:

    During normal use (internet, running programs etc):
    Speedfan: HD:48C / Temp1:80C / Core0:49C / Core1: 49C
    Nvidia Monitorview: GPU1:74C


    Running Spybot:
    Speedfan: HD: 48C / Temp1: 77C / Core0:64C / Core1: 65C

    No gaming temps yet. I will install BF2142 tonight and check the temps out. Can someone give me a decent range for my GPU and CPU temps when gaming?

    Thanks again for helping this newbie out! :)

    Ok. The HD reading is the Hard drive temperature. 48C is average, its not good but not bad either. Going above 50C is not recommended, but mine went up to 55C once. Temp1 is most likely the motherboard temperature, and right now its 43C for me, but after gaming it rises up to around 80C. Core 0 & 1 is the temperature of the CPU. I believe Speedfan reads the CPU temperature about 13C lower. So add that amount to your reading and you've got an pretty accurate number. Its perfectly fine for CPU temperatures to go up while gaming, ~60C is what your looking at. Mine even peaked at 73C once!! :eek: Add 13C to that and its kinda scary. Last but not least, the GPU or video card. It idles in the high 60 to low 70 range. In game, reaching high 80's to low 90's is not that rare. For reference, my highest record is 96C. :p
    Hope that helped, sorry for my bad grammar. :eek:

    Well my highest peak ingame for GPU is 105C (after repair because before it went up to 110C). Idle Entertainment Mode it is around 75-76C ...

    Uh oh...so if Temp1 is my motherboard and you say I need to add 13 degrees to my reading...then my MB at regular use is at 93C? Is this correct :(

    This is not so. As of what I've seen, only the cpu temperature is not accurate. The HDD and motherboard temperature is ok. If you use HD tune to check the readings, both Speedfan and HD tune will give the same number. So it should only be for CPU temperature. :)
