Im at lost on this one...when i boot up my comp and go to the BIOS to check the temps, it runs constant at 35-36C, i let it idle for about 15 mins to make sure it stays stable like that.

now here is the thing, when i log into windows afterwards, i check the idle temps using Asus Probe, and the temps show up around 27-29C.

so my questions is, is my Asus Probe not telling me the correct temps for my CPU? or does the CPU run cooler in windows then in the BIOS?

are there any other programs that tell the CPU temps accurately that some of you have experienced and can confirm that the temps are accurate?

thx for the help

Higher temperature detected in BIOS H/W Monitor than in Windows


It is normal. When WIndows is idle, OS will put the CPU into the low-power states(C1,C2 or C3 state) .But in BIOS setup , the CPU cannot support these states. So the CPU temerature detected in BIOS H/W Monitor will be several Celsius Degrees higher than in Windows.





Thing it explains it all.. no need for further comment
