BIOS/Core Center Temps

I'm slowly (not much available time) bringing my new KT6 Delta-FIS2R up. I have noticed that the Core Center CPU temp readout is 4-5 degrees C above the same item in the PC Health Section of the Bios. Because of the variety of Core Center problems that I see people writing in here forum with, I suspect that the Core Center is the monitor that's out of sync. Irregardless, is there a way to bring these two sources into agreement?

Core Center, as well as PC Alert, reads about 4-5C higher than the real temp. Use Speedfan instead, much more accurate, and takes less space.

  • Core Center Temps Reversed?

    With my recent Live Updates, I updated Core Center to Ver. 1.7.3.0.  Maybe I'm wrong, but the reported CPU and System temperatures now look reversed.

    ok here is what i've found out or at least seems to be true.  The temps are all messed up in both bios and core center.  I tried bios 3.2, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, core center all I could try was the initial one that came with cd (seems to give same readouts I got with all the versions previous to the current one) and the current version.
    I dont believe 3.6 reverses the temps, with all the bios's and corecenters the ambient/sys temp remains within one C.  The core temp is the only thing that really changes.
    Idle core temps with new core center
    3.6 core 24C
    3.5 core 45C
    3.4 core 27C
    3.2 core 27C
    Idle core temps with previous core center
    3.6 core 28C
    3.5 core 50C
    3.4 core 32C
    3.2 core 32C
    the temps from the older core center and bios 3.2/3.4 seemed to give me published real world expected temps.  3.5 went way high and it seems that the newer core center may have been made to adjust for the high temp by compensating and bringing it down some since the newer core center lowers all the temps compared to the older versions.  3.6 seems to have over corrected cpu temp and combind with the newer core center which is also lowering temps you get really low temps.  I went back to older corecenter and the 3.2 bios and now my readings are around 31C idle (26C ambient) up to around 50C if i push it.

  • FSB differs in core center and BIOS...

    I know my FSB is set to 200 (the default value) but on CoreCEnter (lattest version) it shows 203... I'm not in a mood to make OC before getting rid of this stock cooler (but that will not be for now) so I wanted to put FSB at 200, I know the differecen isn't much and the system is runnin fine but I simply don't want it...
    I have 865PE Neo2-LS and I've disabled DOT in the BIOS (1.5). Do you know what's the problem?
    By the way, I just clicked "default" on core center, on the fsb and voltages menu and the CPU just locked-up and a loud sound like PPIIIIIIIIIIIIII wouldn't stop... I rebooted and worked fine but what's the problem?

    What you are seeing is the dynamic overclocking feature. If your Frequency setting is set to anything other than "disabled" Core Center will attempt to find an appropriate clock setting for you, based on processor demand and processor temp.
    I prefer this to traditional overcocking because it only "kicks in" when I need it.

  • Voltage Question in Core Center/Bios

    Just the other day, core center and bios started dislaying my voltages differently. This was right when my temps seemed to drastically increase as well.
    My voltages before were always stable, especially the 12v line, it was always 12.12v, now its reading at a pretty constant 11.76-11.82v, the 3.3v line is reading at 3.31-3.46v, and the 5v line is reading at 4.97-5.05v.
    I hooked up a multimeter to the 12v rail, and it read 12.12 constant.. I didnt hook it up to the powercord running into the mobo, but it seems like they will all read the same.
    Could a dying power supply contribute to a huge heat increasement on the cpu and system temp?.. Im talking a good 15c increase.

    ditch CoreCenter, it's buggy! Don't use it as it's buggy until it could screw up the overclocking settings and kill your system. MSI just didn't do a good job on Corecenter!

  • Is there any way to monitor CPU temp without Dual Core Center

    I hate Dual Core Center it has done nothing but lock my system up is there any alteranative to monitor CPU temp/Fan speed

    Quote from: Maesus on 21-March-07, 23:34:06
    I use speedfan... but for Core 2 Duo, I don't think I have to worry about the CPU temp anymore... they are really coooooooooooooll
    Does anybody have an idea what the optimal temperature range for core duo cpu:s are? I used to have an Athlon XP, which was typically 65 °, now the my E6600 is running at 35-40 ° [celsius]. But where's the critical temperature where it burns?

  • Can P4N Diamond core-center allow auto shut down if cpu temp hits 70*C?

    I read the Core-Center will allow temp-based warnings and shut down.    Does that mean really it will shut itself down automatically if a tempo hits a certain level?    this would be a great feature
    thanks!

    CoreCenter don't depend on it. Force shutdown PC is obsolete way, it cause you lose data, it's a idea. Forget about it. And forget about CoreCenter too. Let the Processor handle thermal itself.

  • REQUEST: GFX Card temp control for Core Center

    Hi !
    I'm using both MSI Mainboard and GFX card, 875P Neo MP (using P4 3.2 GHz Prescott) and GF6800 Ultra AGP GFX card.
    I got processor/ northbridge and GFX card watercooled.
    I got one problem however, I currently am controlling the fans for the radiator with the fan control for the processor since I sometimes use processor more than GFX card, but I may have to change it to the GFX card fan controller since this also gets hottest some of the time...
    I would love if there was possible to add the function to Core Center that would show the GFX card temperature, and then set the fan speed according to the greatest temperature of the GFX/CPU temperatures.
    Or if it is easier, if there is a program that can do this allready made, a link to it would be nice
    Thanx
    Regards

    There is no thing as system/case temp sensor on theese mobos.Only cpu & nv-chipset .
    The temperature you see in corecenter as systemp is actually the nvidia chipset temperature .
    Northbridge memory functions is taken over by the athlon 64 , thats why MSI finds it more reasonable to display
    the nv-chip temp as systemp (remember that corecenter is an allround app for all msi mobos) .
    Rest of the nb/sb functions are implemented as a single chip solution in the nvidia chipset chip.
    So the traditional nb/sb solution is no longer existing.
    The Athlon 64 and Athlon 64 FX each features its own integrated memory controller—single-channel for the Athlon 64 and dual-channel for the Athlon 64 FX. Instead of connecting to a traditional northbridge, these CPUs connect to a video card through a HyperTransport Graphics Tunnel. Data intended for components like PCI cards, disk drives, and USB peripherals is then routed through a HyperTransport I/O Hub, which is embedded in the core logic chip.

  • Core center doesn't afect bios

    when I change the FSB,vcore,memory voltage or AGP voltage in the core center it doesn't change in the bios, is there anything I can do to fix it?

    No, the two are seperate things, bios is hardware overclocking but corecenter is software overclocking, use bios for best results when you overclock.

  • Believe Core Center or BIOS voltage?

    I have a K8N Neo2 Platinum board (bios 1.1).  Does anyone know if I should trust the 12 volt reading from the BIOS hardware monitor or the MSI core center utility.
    I have a brand new power supply (Enermax EG465P-VE FCA).
    I am getting the following readings for the 12 volts:
    BIOS READING
    11.97 -12.03 volts
    CORE CENTER READING
    11.61-11.91 volts
    I have been experiencing some stuttering with my new eVGA graphics card and the tech support thought I the power supply might be the issue since it is sensitive to the 12 Volt rail.  They were not sure which voltage reading is correct. Unfortunately, I do not have a volt meter to probe inside.  Could it be that once windows loads up, it activates more devices causing a voltage drop of some sort?
    Any help is appreciated.

    The BIOS readings are almost certainly more accurate.
    How many amps does your PSU have on 12V? If 24+, then it's unlikely to be that - your voltages look well within spec.
    Graphic stuttering can also be caused by several other things, including drivers, AGP fast writes to name a couple.
    A slight voltage drop is normal with more devices, but a good PSU should regulate itself to keep within spec.
    Edit: Just checked, and your PSU is 20A on 12V, which is "borderline OK", depending on who you ask  
    I'd try investigating other possibilities before you blame the PSU though.

  • Core center work whit 1.4 bios?

    please
    why do not work core center whit bios 1.4...

    it works i just checked it  try uninstalling the core center and reinstall it

  • Fan RPM's read 0 in BIOS no matter where I plug the CPU fan, but it registers in Core Center???

    Hey,
    I used to have BIOS Rev 1.0, updated to 1.2 thinking it would fix the problem about the Fan RPM's not registering, meaning they show 0 in the BIOS, but it didn't fix it, but it registers normally in Core Center in Windows XP Pro.
    What the heck is the problem?? are any other poeple getting this problem?, everything is correctly connected and operates correctly.
    Specs are in my signature.
    Thank you,
    Frank

    I have the same problem.  Don't worry too much about it.  Most BIOS' won't recognize a CPU fan below a certain threshold, and the Thermaltake Silent Boost's stock fan probably fits into that category.

  • Core Center wont show NB temp on K8N Neo2 Platinum

    Is it just me or does core center not show my north bridge temp? i can control the fan speeds for the cpu and nb and it shows my cpu and system temp, but under my nb temp it doesn't show anything.
    Is it because the board doesn't have a sensor for the north bridge? or is core center just screwing up??

  • MSI P35 NEO & dual core center problem

    hi, i have a problem with my motherboard msi, Bios 1.2  and the dual core center 2.0.0.8 ,since days ago, the msi dual core center 2.0.0.8 so many times shows fan speeds alerts false alarms from the cpe temp, for that reason, i upgraded the appl to 2.0.1.6 ( the last),i set the oc level to 25% like with the older version, but time later the pc crash and put a black crash screen  and it dont let me to overclock my cpu    , i get back to 2.0.0.8 but the fan alarm dont stop, and i dont know if the newer version fix this problem
    any help?   
    sys specs
    msi p35 neo bios 1.2
    core 2 quad q6600
    2 gb value ram
    psu duck

    right, but i like to use msi dual core center, because i dont like to have the pc overclocked all the time, anyother suggestion for this?
     thanks for the reply

  • Alarm going off in core center

    I have an alarm going off in core center Theres a red arrow next to wherer it says 12 v. then in the white box it says 10.95 v  any one know what it means and what I could do about it I don't know whats normal for the readings I get in core center. My pc has been locking up and certian games wont load unless it's really cool in the room.

    Good questions! Some folks have acceptable readings with CoreCenter, by verifying them with the Hardware Monitor (in BIOS). I compared them with my SpeedFan program, and as far as temps go..I use a laser temp gun to check CPU, case, and video card temps. Voltages on the PSU can be verified with a voltmeter of course. The specifications on your NB fan should be in your manual. Or you can check out this thread at Anandtech:

  • Core Center displays in fahrenheit?

    Ok, this might be a dumb question but I can't find the answer.  I have a K8N Neo Platinum and A64 3200+ newcastle.
    For some reason, my Core Center started reporting temps in Fahrenheit instead of Celcius.  Degrees F is good if I want to know the weather, but I'm much more familiar with C when it comes to computer temps.  How would I go about changing it back to C? Plus, for whatever reason, it seemed more accurate then (after updating the BIOS) than it does now.

    Yeah...acts like a toggle switch when you right click...then pick!
