I am having a slight issue here!! I installed a Xeon E3 1220(basically a Core i5 2400 with no IGP and a lower TDP) in my system this week and seem to get conflicting temperature readings.

Real Temp and Core Temp agree with each other whereas HWMonitor reports about 8C higher

I looked at the Tj. Max values and Real Temp uses 94C and HWMonitor uses 102C.

Which is correct??
