Sensor CPU temp display incorrect? (MSI X58 Pro-E)

[Dutch]

The Sensorpanel CPU Temperature display appears to be incorrect... it displays in the 15-19C range, but the Power-Up System BIOS Hardware Monitor shows upper 26/27C. Initially there is an occasional sample displayed at/near the correct value, but after a minute or 3, it settles out in the teens.

In the BIOS Setup processors are unable to execute halt cycles to put their clocks down in order to cool themselves down. Hence if in the BIOS Setup you can see 20+ Celsius, but AIDA64 measures 15-19C, it may be correct. Please compare AIDA64 values against MSI Control Center values.

Downloaded/installed MSI Control Center and found CPU temp under Green Power/Basic. The two values match.

Sorry to have bothered.

No problem
