    Hey guys.

    I got a little confusion when reading my 8600M GT temperature; I use 2 programs to read the temp, and they both give me different values:

    RivaTuner says that my GPU has around 60ºC when iddle
    I8kfan says that the GPU has around 50ºC when iddle

    Same differences on heavy load, both programs give me around 10ºC difference values.

    Which one should I trust?

    Cheers.
