OK, This is crazy. I checked the temperature using AIDA 32 (an older
version of EVEREST) and guess what? When the Computer was idle for the
CPU, while PC Probe showed 75 degrees, EVEREST showed 45 degrees!!!!
The motherboard temp stayed the same but there was a amazing
difference with AIDA. What should I trust, AIDA or PC Probe?
