My specs: Gigabyte P35-DS3R

Pentium E2160 @ 2.4ghz (266 FSB)

Muskin DDR2-800

Rosewill (Akasa based) S775 3 Heatpipe cooler with 92mm fan

 

My BIOS temp (30% load) - 37-38 degrees celsius

My OSX temp with Temp Monitor - 48-49 degrees celsius at IDLE.

 

It appears as though there's a 15 degree discrepancy with OSX or OSX makes processors run hotter. My fan is the same speed in BIOS as it is in OSX so the fan speed can't be the problem. The reason I say 15 degree is because 30% load would put roughly a 4-5 degree increase on a processor, and in BIOS you're at 30% load but in OSX the IDLE temp is 10 degrees more.

 

Share your results, possible solutions. I don't want to OC if that's how high my temp REALLY is.

With my backup machine when it has a G0 core processor rated spec of 100C shows the temperatures to within a degree or two in all three OS's I can boot it with Win XP, Debian GNU/Linux and OSX. Now when I put in/had in my B revision chip an e6300 rated spec of 85C the temperatures in every OS except OS X was the same, in OS X it was ~15C+ higher than they showed. If you can see where I am going with this it appears Temperature Monitor uses the higher spec 100C (which are the chips Apple uses in their machines) as a base so when reading the chips spec'd at 85 they are shown 15C higher than they actually are.
