Hello, so the title says it all in HW monitor I can see 2 cpu temperature readings. The first is the MB sensor and the second is the CPU I suppose? Which one do I need to worry about? Which of these is the most accurate?



Thank you !

both are! cpu is socket temp <70C and package is core temp <60C in order to avoid any possible throttle! temps must be above 40c to get an accurate reading! expect socket temps to be higher than core temps!

So the socket temp is the first one right? And that the one I should look out to when I overclock?

both socket and core voltages matter!
