Under most circumstances I would trust Coretemp the most, but here it is showing a false value (unless you have some sub zero cooling :D). It is usually recommended to only run one CPU monitoring app at a time. Close all of those apps and run them one at a time and see what temperature they record. Also if coretemp isn't working for you try realtemp, or use HWmonitor as I would still trust that more than Gamebooster. However it seems to be either a conflict between all of these different temp monitoring apps, or the CPU temp sensor is reporting a false temperature, and the different software suites are simply taking a reading from different sensors (notice how Hwmonitor shows both 14 and 34C as the CPU temperature from different...

Also go into your BIOS and see what it reads as the temperature.

Hope this helps!

You were right went into bios and reading is34 so cpu id not working correctly i thought that was a little low so im still getting a good temp at 4.2 i could go higher but i would have to up the voltage as i blue screen in prime with 4.3 and im not comfortable upping the voltage i think i need to up the offset but not sure .
