Hi all,

The only temperature readings I used to take from my CPU were from Asus' AI Suite II (they were around 30c idle and 47c load). However, I recently downloaded HW Monitor as I wanted to see the temps for my new GPU, but on this software its showing the CPU when gaming tops at 96c! My cooler is the TX3 EVO, so I really cannot see how it would get to 96c. Which reading would you guys say is more accurate - Asus' own software, or HW Monitor??

The top of the case feels barely warm, which is leading me towards believing AI Suite. I did read on another post that HWMonitor is not great at detecting APU temps - is this true?
