CPU temps using NZXT CAM possibly incorrect?

[ballixxe]

Getting way different temps from NZXT CAM and ASUS AI Suite 3.
Playing SWBF2 and CAM displaying 67-72 C for CPU.
ASUS AI Suite displaying 53-58 C.

Build:
Win 10 Pro 64 bit
i7 6700K OC to 4.4
ASUS Z170-A mobo
16 G GSkill Trident Z 3200 DDR4 @ 3200
CoolMaster Hyper 212 EVO

Any thoughts?

Well the program may be having problems ˝contacting˝ the component that is measuring the temps but idk how that could happen have you tried any other temo measuring programs.?

 

[ballixxe]

No, I haven't. I've been searching for a program to compare with CAM. I'm considering CoreTemp or RealTemp. Which one of these gives an accurate measurement?

 

[EXQNGaming]

Real temp is usualy more acurate but if u can use both to compare them. But i wouldnt be worried if any of the temp measuring programs dont show the gpu above 80°C and cpu above 75°C

GPU stays below 70 C under 100% load, at least when playing SWBF2 @ 1920 x 1080 Ultra 85-100 FPS (with CAM, mind you).
CPU (according to CAM) is between 60-70 C @ MAYBE 40% load. Makes no sense to me. ASUS AI Suite 3 is showing 52-57 C at same load and instance. I can only assume that CAM is wrong.

Well just like i told you before you shouldnt worry since the temps are normal but i think the pads that monitor the temps are broken so ya no wories there you shouldnt really care about the temps aslong as they dont reach the high 80/90 s since all the komponets aredesigned to work normaly eaven at those high temps.

 

[ballixxe]

I doubt the pads are broken; build is less than 3 weeks old.
But thank you for the replies.

 

[EXQNGaming]

Np but if you are worried it will go above 70 just set it that the fan will spin 100% when the cpu reaches 70°C

Hello,

For the CAM software, we are aware that sometimes it is reporting the incorrect temps for some CPUs and GPUs. We are working on this and we soon hope that in the future it can read everything accurately.
