I've been using AIDA64 and RealTemp to monitor my CPU temps, but for whatever reason the temperature measurements are a bit different. The temperature difference is usually about 5 degrees celsius at any given time with AIDA usually reporting the lower CPU temp. Which one should I trust?

And also is 60degrees maximum CPU, 51degree average temperature bad for 100% load Stress test? I am using i7 4790k with Noctua NH-D14 and Gigabyte G1 gaming GTX 970.

If you use multiple temperature monitoring tools you may receive incorrect results.

I personally use Aida64 temperatures and they seem to be working out great for me.

Oops I forgot to mention that, my CPU is not overclocked.

so i got a r7 2700x and aida64 showed around 85 degrees in fpu stress test while AMD ryzen master showed around 65-75 degrees , so theres a huge difference and which one should i trust? im getting a little confused
