CPU Temp differing between programs

shottyjotty · Jan 29, 2015

Using CoreTemp to monitor my CPU temps, says I hit a max of 60 degrees. OpenHardwareMonitor has 3 seperate temps (aptly named 1 2 & 3), with temp 3 hitting 72 degrees. EzTune6 reads my CPU as 70 degrees.

Which one do I believe? :S I always found CoreTemp trustworthy, but I don't know now.

check hwinfo

... I trust that one, what does it say?

I downloaded HWInfo. It works but as soon as I click the sensors button, the entire program crashes. Like, seriously, WTF.

Before anyone suggests Realtemp - it doesn't work with FX CPU's.

And, if I click "load sensors only" the program crashes while loading.

odd... just to make sure... get either 32 bit of 64 bit version according to your windows version. I used hwinfo for both intel and AMD, it should work

I have a 64bit OS, but I downloaded the 32 bit one and that works. Strange.

On a side note, annoying as anything, I can't fucking screenshot. Dropbox has taken over my screenshot command, and will only screenshot one window at a time, or the whole screen, IF you have the dropbox folder open IN FRONT of everything. (I wanted to screenshot my stress test as well but nevermind)

title bar says it's hwinfo64

...

If this was taken after 10-15 minutes... temps are ~60°C, you are safe... temps are ok

Yeah sorry, I downloaded multiple installers and I actually re installed the 64 bit without realizing it. But it worked. It was taken about 15 minutes after I started the stress test, because of all the faffing around with screenshots.

Sometimes it goes to about 75 degrees. Not sure how to differ between CPU and Socket temperature also, not sure if I should.

BIOS is recognizing my idle cpu at 45 degrees, but in Windows my idle cpu is 15 degrees. (Core temp)

This is so confusing. I understand that under 60 is safe, but if my idle is 40, then my load is going to be considerably higher than 60. I don't know which program to believe. Is it really that hard to just tell me the temperature of my CPU? All the sensors are there, all I need is a damn program to read them properly for me and tell me whether or not it's lying lol.
