Hey guys I just bought a new pc amd 64 3200 socket 754 with an msi k8t neo fsr mobo , and an under wood case with temperature detectors , the thing is the mother also has a prog called corecenter and the temps registered by the case and this program are completely off with each other for example right now my case is signaling 29 degrees celsius ( the sensor is placed on the heatsink) and corecenter indicates 60deegres who should I believe? Also is this temp ok? it rises up to 65 o 68 deegres while in games , and i have a little fan that blows out and a big one 12 centimetres that's also blowing out should i put it to blow in instead? also i have 512 pc 3200 kingston valueram and radeon 9600 xt , for more info and the power source is 350 watts , would a 400 watts power source make any diference?
thx guys
 
Don't trust the temp. so much because it could be a bad reading. Which could be fixed by flashing the bios to the newest version with MSI Live Update.

Feel the heatsink and if it isn't burning hot, I mean burning, then I wouldn't worry about it.

Front case fans suck air in. Rear case fans blow air out. And CPU fans blow air down on the heatsink.
 
I've felt it quite cool , like the readings of the case sensor , which is in fact placed on the heatsink , so you'd say it's a safe bet for over clocking? also what do you guys think of the O.C options provided by the msi kot neo series mobos?
I almost forgot thx a lot ASUS :D:D:D
Also anyone know where to find if u can , activate the 8 pipelines in an 9600 xt and how dangerous this is specially with factory components
