I'm wondering what the reason is for huge temperature differences between Speedfan and a utility like CoreTemp.
For example, according to Speedfan and my Bios, my i7-4790k idles at 35-36c. According to coretemp, every core idles closer to 50c.
According to CoreTemp, my CPU runs around 100c at load. According to Speedfan and my Bios, it stops climbing at 68-70c.
I know coretemp uses individual sensors to measure more accurately in the CPU, whereas the Bios temps and Speedfan measure in a more general and less accurate way. But is such a huge disparity between their measurements normal? Which do I trust?
