CPU Temps

[grandslammer]

I found a sys health monitor on my mb setup disk (duh!). Guess I overlooked it somehow.

Anyway, can anyone tell me what Hysterisis temperature means?

Alarm is set for 120F, and CPU Hysterisis temp is 104.

What does THIS mean?

With Rain, my cpu temp seems to float around 93F. Before it floated around 108. COOL!

Thanks again, sooner or later I'll quit being such a pest, huh?

Thanks always

Here is an answer posted elsewhere.
In general you can see CPU Hysteresis Temp as regular temperature curve. I'll explain a bit.
Starting from the moment you power up your PC and when you shut down your PC, your CPU will show different
temperatures depending on the amount of cooling, and the load your CPU has to handle. The curve you
get, if set out to an x/y axe shows the hysteresis loop.
Now, if your CPU has a bad fan or so, it will get too hot, leaving the normal pattern, going out of
the hysteresis loop if you like and this is just what you see.
What can you do, to be on the safe side, first check if your cpu cooler works as it should, with normal
load you should be able to touch the heatsink of the CPU without burning your fingers ( ATTENTION: BEFORE
YOU DO SO, MAKE SURE YOU ARE EARTHED, BY HOLDING THE PC-CASE, your PC gets proper grounding doesn't
it :-) )
If this is all fine, investigate your monitoring software, you might need to calibrate the curve first,
by running some tests, so it knows the normal behaviour of your hardware.
I hope this can get you on the right track,
