Hi!
I have tryed with two different DS 3232 and I got the same problem.
First I download the software SetSerial provided in the IDE and I set ti time but I notice that the measure of the temperature is always 47 C that's impossible.
Then I notice that both DS 3232 loose about 15 minute each day !
Maybe the temperature correction is a problem but I don't understand why I got 47 C !
Thanks for any suggestion.
Regards

Please provide a link to that software.

What library do you use? Link to it?
Post your code!
Post a wiring diagram!
The library is DS3232RTC.h .
Regarding the wiring, apart of +Vcc and GND (that are connected to +5V and GND),
PIN SDA is connected to Arduino PIN A4 and SCL is connected to A5.
This is the code. Thanks a lot.

// Example sketch to display the date and time from a DS3231
// or DS3232 RTC every second. Display the temperature once per
// minute. (The DS3231 does a temperature conversion once every
// 64 seconds. This is also the default for the DS3232.)
//
// Set the date and time by entering the following on the Arduino
// serial monitor:
// year,month,day,hour,minute,second,
//
// Where
// year can be two or four digits,
// month is 1-12,
// day is 1-31,
// hour is 0-23, and
// minute and second are 0-59.
//
// Entering the final comma delimiter (after "second") will avoid a
// one-second timeout and will allow the RTC to be set more accurately.
//
// No validity checking is done, invalid values or incomplete syntax
// in the input will result in an incorrect RTC setting.

So I guess we're talking about an UNO, aren't we?
How do you power your setup? Is the Vbattery of the RS3232 connected to something?
Is RST pulled high?
How long are the wires between the DS3232 and the UNO? Don't you have external pull-ups?
I notice that the measure of the temperature is always 47 C that's impossible.
Then I notice that both DS 3232 loose about 15 minute each day !
These are two very bad signs, possibly indicating a counterfeit chip which is not working properly.
Are your modules ebay specials for less than the cost of a genuine chip or do they come from a known supplier?
My experience with the Christensen library is that it is rock solid and there are no issues with the temperature readings.
