one of my friend asked me this morning and i stucked.
My friend has a Tualatin 633, overclocked to 856Mhz.The bios show temp is 52 C, but in winxp use Asus...(forgot the name of the Prog) it shows temp is 35 C.... so which once is true.
i think the difference is when check in bios the CPU is in heavy load????
and when check in windows the CPU in the light load ????. But it seems unbieliveable....

you probably have, but: double-check that the temps are both in degrees C, not Fahrenheidt or something silly like that.

also remember that temp monitoring features are often crappy, at best.
that said though, your situation seems a bit overboard even for that... :)

Doesnt asus have a termistor on the mobo too. Because 35c sounds about right for the mobo temp inside a case. I know asusprobe reports it on amd mobos at least.

While the bios reports the internal cpu temp. And external(for my mobo).

But the asus proggie could be wrong. But why would the comp run under full load while in bios mode...
