I replaced my cooler for my cpu cuz it broked , i had liquid cooler but now i have a normal "Hyper 212 led Cooler master" .... the thing is , various programs show their temps like "speedfan 4.52" shows me 52/54 degrees and "AI Suite" from asus shows me 70 degrees and this other goes like 80 or something ... i don't know what temperature my cpu has ?? .
Every program says different
i have asus maximus hero viii alpha as motherboard and im so broke i can't afford to get another cooler for the cpu .... what program can for certain tell me the temps on my cpu ?? and if i play at 70 or more how long can my cpu last like that ??
 
Solution
HWmonitor is a great program.

And playing at 70 degree Celcius it will last you until the time your computer is no more modern than what an old typewriter is today :) relax :)

If the 212 is correctly installed and you aren't OCing (much), temperatures shouldn't be a problem. Temperatures can vary wildly depending on second-by-second load but should be fairly consistent between programs under uniform load over a few seconds if they are all running at the same time so your readings don't get thrown off due to one monitoring suite simply having more CPU overhead than the other due to fancy UI or longer sensor list to scan. If some software reports grossly different temperatures from others, it is quite likely it simply has incorrect register map, offset or coefficients table for your motherboard/CPU.
