Temps in SpeedFan

[dmdport]

I have no clue on how to read the different temps in Speedfan. What is the difference between Temp1,2,3, and Core? I have a FX 8350 if thats any important. I used a CPU Burner to raise the temps up to figure it out myself but im still lost.

How would I do that?

OpenHardwareMonitor > in the main display scroll down to "CPU Temp" > right click that name and click Parameters. Now the offset might different from board to board, so IDK really if there is a certain one people should use. For my 8350 I had to use Offset # of around 12 - 14. When I use this, my idle temp shows correctly at approx 30-32*C (instead of 12-19*C like before, which is totally wrong)

Your talking about "CPUID HWMonitor" correct? Cause its not allowing me to right click on anything.

No, this one > http://openhardwaremonitor.org

Again both HWMonitor and OHM are similar apps; but OHM allows more options.
Yes most apps of this sort are just inaccurate by default with regards to AMD platform CPU temps; mostly because AMD chipsets use an offset to read the sensor backwards, starting from the max temp down, not the other way around.

If you run AMD Overdrive monitoring app, you'll see what I mean by that.

Then that seems to either be an Intel feature based on using that platform, or because you have an LCD capable Keyboard and then MSI-AB allows such options. It must be one of the two, to which I'm not sure. This does not show up on AMD platform based systems, or perhaps due to lack of LCD Keyboard features. I'm leaning towards the LCD keyboard features; since in your shot there I see no options for "Show in On-Screen Display"

Sorry for bumping this up to say it, but you're wrong about this.

I've explained it to you before. The AMD offset is a non-issue because it normalizes around 40-45C. This is why you get whacky readings at idle, but more consistent readings under load. As we know, idle temps are mostly inconsequential anyways.

AMD Overdrive reads from the same sensor that HWMonitor and OHWMonitor reads from (package temp), but as you say, Overdrive displays the result backwards. It calculates the temp and subtracts it from the CPU's thermal limit (62C for FX) and then displays the difference as your "thermal margin."

Knowing how it works, it's easy to compare the two and determine that HWMonitor is, in fact, displaying the correct temperature. The same temps as Overdrive, just inverse of each other. For instance, if my HWMonitor says my package/core is 46C, Overdrive will read 16C. (46+16=62)

Perhaps the results are different for you, but I've tested this extensively on multiple AMD setups and it always comes out the same. Try it out for yourself.

[Edit] Actually I may have to correct myself. Going from memory here, but OD might calculate from 70, not 62. I can't remember. Will have to check on that later on.

Oh, ok. That makes sense.
