    I downloaded MobileMeter yesterday and I noticed it tends to be inaccurate or my computer's CPU can jump 10 degrees in less than a second. I panicked when it said my CPU's temperature was over 70 degrees, but then it dropped to 59 degrees and went back up to 67 degrees and finally back down to 59 again. In the end I think it was in the low 60s. It sometimes records my hard drive temperature as 0 degrees and I know it cannot be 0 degrees. How accurate is MobileMeter?

    I dont know...I'm sorta having the same problem with NHC.

    Sometimes I see 56 degrees on CPU then all of a sudden after I close firefox, it jumps directly down to around 47-48 degrees. LOL something aint right here.

    cpu temperatures fluctuate hundreds of times a second with voltage variations fed to the processors. it's normal.
