Which one is the right CPU temperature... Bios or predator sense software in predator PO3-600?

Hello

I have an acer predator PO3-600
Model Number: PO3-600
Part Number: DG.E11EH.015

Heating problem cpu
My Predator sense software says my CPU has 80 -90 degrees. In stand by 80 degrees, in gaming 90 degrees. So I replaced the CPU paste. Now on stand by it has 75 degrees, and gaming 85 degrees.... But when I start the Bios it says 40 to 44 degrees immediately. Temperature can't drop 40 - 50 degrees in 30 seconds anyway. Which one is correct? I am afraid to damage processor during gaming. My Case fan goes crazy sometimes. But heatsink cpu does not feel very hot.

[Edited the thread to add model number to the title and to add issue detail]

Buy a cheap Digital Laser Infrared Thermometer Temperature Gun and get the temp of your cpu and see for yourself the exact temps and see if Predator Sense is accurate or the bios is accurate. If the cpu cooler is cool I would trust the bios more than Predator Sense. Do the test and let us know. Good luck.

Most likely both readings are correct. The CPU load is different when in BIOS and in desktop. The fan settings and how fast the fans spin and react to temperature are also different.

When you are in BIOS the fan settings you have on PS are not being used. They will be loaded with the operating system. So, maybe the fans spin faster when in BIOS?

Your BIOS temp is good, so you do not need to worry about that. The connection between CPU and your cooler is good.

PS gets its temperature readings from the same sensors as BIOS does. I don't know which temp sensor BIOS and PS use, but it can be package temp, average of cores, hottest core, or something else.

You can check temperature variation between cores with Core Temp or HWinfo64.

PredatorSense, is a monitoring software commonly used for Acer Predator laptops, provides real-time information about your CPU and GPU temperatures and this is how it obtains these vital stats:

Source of Temperature Data:

PredatorSense retrieves temperature data directly from the hardware components themselves. It communicates with the thermal sensors embedded in the CPU and GPU.

These sensors are part of the processor and graphics card architecture. They continuously measure the temperature at various points on the chip.

Monitoring Process:

When you launch PredatorSense, it queries these sensors to obtain the current temperature readings.

The software then displays this information in real time, allowing you to monitor how hot your components are during various tasks, including gaming.

Graphs and Vitals:

In the Monitoring tab of PredatorSense, you’ll find a graph showing the temperature trends over time for both the CPU and GPU.

Additionally, you can view the maximum and minimum temperatures recorded during your laptop’s usage.

The software also provides details about other system parameters, such as CPU fan speed, frequency, voltage, and the fan and Core Clock frequency of your GPU.

Unit of Measurement:

By default, PredatorSense displays temperatures in Celsius. However, you can easily switch to Fahrenheit if you prefer.

After checking a few things, I think the Predator sense temperature data is correct....
After several hours of stand by, my CPU does run 80 - 82 degrees.... When gaming 90 -95 degrees... I did new cooling paste on CPU.... With no result. I also made the case dust free as well as all the fans.

Surely these are high temperatures for a system in stand by.

If you are running the fans in silent mode, rather than normal or performance, it might run that high under typical usage, though it does still seem high.
