Hey everyone! I am having a problem with measuring the correct temperatures of my AMD APU. Lots of programs give different results. My system specs are as below;

-Asus A88XM-A
-AMD A10 7890K Processor (OC to 4.5GHz, ~12%)
-Kingston HyperX Fury 2x4GB 1600MHz RAM
-MSI GTX960 2G GPU
-Kingston HyperX 240GB SSD
-Zalman Z3 Plus Case (4x120mm Intake Fans, 1x120mm Exhaust Fan)
-Cooler Master Hyper 612 CPU Cooling Block (Modded with 2x120mm fans, blowing through the chasis exhaust fan)
-Zalman ZM-STG1 Thermal Grease

Screenshot of the applications is also below (on idle);

It'd be lovely if someone could tell me which one to trust. Also, BIOS tells a way different result compared to these, somewhat similar to the ASUS tool.

EDIT: I have forgotten to add; the room temperature is 24.11°C when these readings were taken

Overdrive is the only program that can correctly read FM2+ chips. Thermal margin is degrees left until it overheats, so a 70c thermal margin is fantastic. As temps go up, your thermal margin should go down.

Hello,
back in 2012 i had A10 6800K and it kept showing weird tempratures on different apps sometimes it was reading 120 C
i freaked out of course, i even went to buy a water cooler, but it gave me the same readings maybe 10c less or something

anyway, u should trust ur bois ( remember chking bois means u are watching the idle heats with not much stress not even system cpu usage so it will mostly show low cpu temp,
also the application that comes with ur motherboard if there is any can give u right temprature readings, i had that kind of application with my motherboard.
hwinfo64. app is also nice, but i don't recall if i was using it back in 2012 so iam not sure if it will give u right readings,for an amd cpu

also there is a thermal safeguard in motherboards that at certain high temprature the mobo will restart or shutdown the pc to protect ur cpu, ( not sure if all mobos have that.
hopefully my personal experience got anywhere close to helping :D

Well, to test them I have been running AIDA64 CPU, FPU and Cache stress tests for about 20 minutes. Asus AI Suite tells me that CPU is 44-45°C (Same value with AIDA64 Sensors) and AMD OverDrive tells me that I have a thermal margin of 39.1-39.8°C. However Speccy gives a CPU temperature of 79-80°C which doesn't fit anything at all. Should I trust Asus AI Suite? It is almost the same as BIOS temperature. Or should I trust Speccy at all? I mean it is about 35°C difference and actually if Speccy is right I should underclock my cpu i guess.

Okay, so if I have 70°C thermal margin, I don't have to underclock eh? Thanks that was what I have been looking for.

hi there I been looking on info on this . I have the same set up as you do , well except I have a xm88 plus with Kingston 2400mhz anarchy memory and a Samsung ssd
the cpu cooler is a cooler master Vortex Plus

in my case I been able to OC the cpu to 4.6
but here its where it gets a bit confusing for me the cpu temp doesn't go pass 65 C . but the voltage its a 1.58 - 1.64
the motherboard bios says the max and min are 1.7 -1.5 every were I've read , people say don't go pass 1.54 .in my case the system is stable and snappy than before ?
did I do anything wrong ? should I bring it down ?

what did you notice when you OC ??
