Hey, I just got my new rig built, everything is fine so far. However, I'm not sure which temp in HWMonitor I should look at. I posted 2 screenshots below. The first displays TMPIN# , which I've heard is the CPU core temp, but I'm not sure. Second shows the temp listed under my CPU (Athlon X4 750K). The second one concerns me a little, as its commonly around 50C under light load (web broswing, some applications open).

You need to follow the package temp and i'm going to guess the TEMPIN1 temp for the cores.

TEMPIN0 is usually a sensor on the board, usually located towards the bottom of the board.
TEMPIN2, not sure what this is, mine reads 128 degrees which was an old temp for a ocz ssd i used to have.

I would run a stress test to see which of the TEMPIN temps changes drastically, that one will be for the cpu.

In that case, those are normal temps, correct?

Edit: it shows 3 temps, and I have 4 cores.

Temps while playing Saints row 3 on ultra. They seem a bit low actually, considering my cooling is just stock fans+a built in case fan. Also, should I mind the "CPU" or rather the individual core temps?

As far as I can tell, yes. I would use HWMonitor but the package temp is around 50-60C under light load, even though there is very little heat inside my computer. Even less then when I'm gaming, which is when AIDA64 shows the temps at around 50C.
