hi guys
i am monitoring my motherboard and cpu
cause i am interested in overclocking...
but somehow i cant get programs running to give me proper information about heat etc...

i tried:
CoreTemp <- crashes whole compuer to reboot!!

RMClock - gives me values for core about 70 degree (isnt that too much?!)

PC Probe II (from asus) says my cpu got 40-45 degree but my motherboard got 53?!

PC Wizard 2007 tells me:
cpu ~ 53 degree
(core 1 and 2 ~70°)
mainboard 44°
hdd 47°
power/aux 119° <-?!?! wtf

all those values seem confusing, thought my core is way less heated...
btw the air in tower feels warm (i think about 28 degree probably 30)
but not really hot

any ideas?

PS: want to check that out before overclocking....
