different software reporting different CPU and core temps

mist303 · Apr 7, 2015

Easy Tune is reporting very low CPU temperature in comparison to HWmonitor and HWinfo.

I do not understand which one should I take when OCing my Xeon L5420.

Thank you.

HWmonitor is garbage software.

Core Temp will generally give you dependable temps as well, plus it's free. You can also use it to monitor your core usage.

Thanks! AIDA seems to report the same values as Easy tune. While we're on the subject, can you please check out this question I posted about AIDA?
