So i've been using HWMonitor for a while to look at my hardware temps and since I built my HWMonitor has showed the cpu temps at 70C - 90C and no thermal throttling or anything like that happened so I didn't bother with trying to make them lower, but today I installed AIDA64 and it shows my cpu temps at 40C - 55C. So all i'm wondering is which program is displaying the right value?
