Yeah.... right.

Sure I was pushing for it but this is a bit of a joke. I would have thought it would have either died or auto-shut off at 80c, but nope...

The picture has only been edited to reduce its size to under 97.7kb (So it can be uplaoded onto the forum)

The value has not be changed at all.

Yup thats right it says 95c.... 5c away from the boiling point of water.

Don't ever buy Acer.

Speedfan can be a bit... inaccurate sometimes - it tried to tell me that my Core 2 Quad was running at 127°C. it always told me my old s939 mobo was running at -11° too...

I see...

I didn't think it was possible it be running at 95c really... But still it felt like it was about to set me on fire... lol.

Is there a more accurate program I could use?

SANDRA will tell you the temperature of the CPU - it agrees with the ASUS reporting software that came with my motherboard, which is better than Speedfan did.

If you open SANDRA and double click on the "processors" button, then scroll down in the new window, it will tell you what the CPU sensor is reporting under the "Sensors" heading.

It appears SANDRA agrees with CPU-Z.

It got to a reported 93c before the system went unstable so I couldn't get a print screen.

Yep, this is an old post but...

the100thmonkey is nearly there...

It's not Speedfan's fault exactly, it's the BIOS's. Temperature sensors don't actually report a temperature...not like we think of it. They report a integer value, usually between 0 and 255. This has to be offset to find 0-point. If the offset is wrong, it'll report 95C instead of 45C or whatever.

Speedfan makes the mistake where the manufacturers own monitor software or software with a built in shim compensates. I seem to recall the offset is actually configurable in Speedfan.
