Which one should I trust?

CPUTIN is the socket/cpu

Core temp is the sensor in the chip

usually the socket is 10*c higher than core, I don't know how you have managed to get it 20*c above at idle!

id probably say its mounted wrong or something. also sometimes software conflicts if too many diagnostics are open, and hwmonitor seems to be buggy a lot of the time.

hwinfo64 is a good program, and also check you bios temp.

(fyi axtu reads the socket temp, its more than likely a diode in the mobo socket)
 
, I don't know how you have managed to get it 20*c above at idle!

I'm compressing some videos right now. My CPU is running 100% (Check AMD overdrive). I'll try with hwinfo64.
 
trust your finger, touch the heatsink first
:D
it could err from application or your sensor give you wrong number
so far i use hwmonitor it gives me same temp

The heatpipes aren't hot at all so I'd say it's running in the low 30's. Hwinfo64 is saying it's at 33°.

have you tried the other monitoring software, just for comparison the temp?

There are three in my first post and I tried Hwinfo64 also.
 
I wouldn't use so many utilities, they can conflict.

I would just use hwinfo64 and go by the core temp sensor.

when you change paste or remount, you may see a change in the cpu/socket temp. (seems high)

just make sure that the socket doesn't exceed 70*c and the core 60*c

sorry, but from AMD overdrive and hwmonitor say about 32-33 degrees, i guess its about 32-33 degrees
its kinda hard when first you turn it on the temp suddenly reach 54 degrees
 
i have heard that the on chip sensors arent that great...

its not that, just not a lot of people understand its a DTS sensor and calculated based on Tjmax. so it only gets accurate closer to Tjmax

hence when idle it can read 0*c but when the chip is warm itll read 40.5*c
 
i get it now. i did think like that, without knowing. that the higher temps have lesser and lesser difference.
 
Never use so many monitoring programs at once. If you do so, they will conflict with the SMBus signal and report wrong values.
I personally use AIDA 64 for temperatures and voltages and I think that is the best since I tested it on a lot of platforms and the readings were consistent. Just make sure you use the latest version. Turn off any other monitoring app including background ones.
