cpu temp vs cpu core temp

Cole Norton · Mar 11, 2016

So afterburner says my core temps are in the 90's, while speed fan says the cpu temp is around 40. Which one is accurate?

speedfan is generally a bit more accurate. does it show any temps in the bios if you go there?

Not sure. But what is the differnece between core and regular cpu temp?

Cole Norton :

a cpu has around 4 cores it will have a tem for each one. the regular is just a average of all of them

but all four are in the 90's while the "Average" is only 40

Cole Norton :

on what program?

Cole Norton · Mar 11, 2016

well afterburner has all 4 cores in the 90's during load, but at the same time. speed fan has the cpu temp at around 45

Cole Norton :

does speedfan have the cores?

Cole Norton · Mar 11, 2016

no, well atleast on the same screen

I think a souloution I Found is to go on corair link at go to the cores and once they reach 65 fans go to 100%, is that good idea?

Cole Norton :

its not a bad idea. but for all we know the temps are just fine right now. the core temps so they will dysplay
