I'm quite paranoid about my CPU temperature and have been for awhile. I've got a AMD A8 6600K and I was mainly using a program called CLICKBIOSII to check the CPU temp but I switched to SpeedFan even though it gave me the same CPU temp. I got a bit paranoid after seeing that my CPU was at 74C while playing a game somehow and I've also noticed that SpeedFan has been showing quite high temperatures of up to 65C while I'm basically just browsing the internet.
I found some people who claimed that SpeedFan was inaccurate a lot of the time and I should use a program like CoreTemp but I'm not exactly sure about it's readings considering it drops to almost 30C sometimes and stays around 47C and I don't think I have a great cooling system. Some people also recommended HWMonitor which gives me the same readings as SpeedFan.
I also tried a recommend program called AMD Overdrive which shows Thermal Margin and that gives me quite reasonable temperatures... I think at least but I'm just not sure which one to believe. Normally my CPU temperature is at a reasonable temp but not today for unknown reasons.
