I recently build my first ever computer and she is running like a charm. I have done some overclocking, so like a good little pilot I have been diligently monitoring the heat coming from my CPU. I use the AI suite that comes with the Asus board as well as HW Monitor, which was recommended, and I love its simplicity but thoroughness.
Here is the puzzling thing: The readings are NEVER the same. And not just by a degree or two; sometimes up to 7-10 degrees difference. On average its about 5 degrees difference. This concerns me and I need to know if this is normal activity or if something is wrong. Also, if this is normal, which one should I take as more accurate? I would tend towards to AI suite, but really ave no idea. I notice the AI suite "Sensor monitor" is the one that always reads cooler than HW Monitor.
Thanks for your input in advance!
