Different readings on MacOSX vs Windows / BootCamp

Post by Crulex32 »

I have considerably different CPU and GPU readings (with ~20 degree difference) on MacBook Pro (non-retina), 2012.
See reports taken on these OS within ~1 minute difference.
This difference keeps after few reboots back & forth.
When touching my MacBook Pro doesn't seem that hot, so Windows readings seem more realistic.
On MacOSX, this results in Fans running in full speed.

P.S. After few minutes of usage, readings on my Mac are down to normal again (76 / 75 C as on Windows).
Any clues?

That's pretty hot in my opinion. Did you try to manually set the fan speed to a fixed value and then compare the temperature under both Windows and OS X without heavy load?
