    how is it they're all different!!

    any idea which one is accurate? or why none of them match up? I mean, the difference is huge.

    also, what is THERM? is that the cpu?

    air flow and assembly? weird

    CPUID Hardware Monitor is probably the most accurate.

    ok cool thats the one ive been using =p

    those temp jumps couldnt mean an unhealthy cpu though could it? look at this too, while installing dragon age. its very weird that one core is getting so stressed while the other is breezing along, no? yet they both have the same temps. just want to be sure this is normal =)

    Well, not every app uses both cores equally. Both having about the same temp isn't that weird either i think

    I think that some programs use different diodes, so therefore it results in different readings.

    Core Temp or Real Temp, either one I suppose. There's always going to be some variation between apps/sensors, that's a given.

    The only difference is in core temps. That shouldn't worry you. What CZX58 Shadow said.
