So I know there are already a few threads similar to this, but I'm getting VERY different readings from different CPU temp monitoring apps, and not sure what to believe.
I'm using an AMD A10-7700K APU on an ASUS mobo with a CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Evo heatsink + 120mm fan. My BIOS shows it to be at ~30'C idle. ASUS AI Suite III shows the same. However, my friend recommended I use NZXT Cam for temps so I got that, but it shows me ~60'C idle. Under load, AI Suite shows ~45'C; NZXT Cam shows in excess of 70'C.
How can there be 30 degrees difference here? I'm currently trusting the AI Suite readings since it's an ASUS mobo, so I'm not too worried about it being too hot.
I've also seen AMD Overdrive being mentioned in similar threads, but after installing it didn't launch(?).
Any words of wisdom much appreciated.
