CoreTEMP does work, with Intel. I use it all the time.
Even, I had, in past.
But HWInfo is the ultimate. More information than you could actually digest.
guys
i got the
Asus PC PROB 2
Its a freeware and its working fine
it can shows
vcore temp.
vcore voltage
mobo temp.
12volt
5volt
3volt
cpu fan speed
system fan speed
but cant overclock with this software
do u guys know any software that can overclock the system via windows, i'm using windows7
thanks for pointing it out - core temp works with Intel cpus and now I remember - core temp always showed 5c lower temp than real temp on my previous e5200 and it's real temp which does not support AMD cpu - just confused one with another as I don't use either of them anymore
Asus PC prob will only work with Asus mobos but HWMonitor/HWInfo will give you much more infos and they work with any cpu and mobo.
For OC your only option is to play with bios settings but as your's is a value mobo I don't think you can OC your cpu much with it.
when you boot into windows startup apps are launched and for that cpu usage increase and it put heavy load on the cpu for a very short time and pc probe detects the load temp during that time and that's why it's showing you 39c.
After sometime because of cpu power saving features and when other startup apps are loaded the cpu usage comes down to 0-1/2 % and cpu speed and voltage also come down - in this idle status cpu temp also reduce due to these factors and that's why idle temp is around 28c.
IF you can't spend time on OCing you better not do it - ocing does require a lot of time and a lot of patience but the end result ( if done correctly ) can be very fruitful

thanx yaar.
HWInfo as pointed out already.
