CPU temp does not match what is displayed in Ryzen Master

[ketma]

Anyone else seeing the cpu temp reported in gpu-z does not match to that displayed in Ryzen Master ?

Ryzen Master reads CPU idle voltage and temperatures through a proprietary method that no other software can. Readings will be different regardless of what you use - Afterburner, HWInfo, etc. This is the decision AMD has made.

At full load, both Vcore voltage and temperatures should align with what RM shows, because the fluctuations are minimal at full load.

i found hwinfo to read same as ryzen master. /shrug

So Ryzen Master will be the most accurate then (?)

How much of a difference are you seeing?

It would be great to see screenshots.

Its not always a huge amount out but please see attached as an example, this is on a TR 3960x processor.

If it generally tracks the same values and is just sometimes off a bit then you're probably seeing random timing differences. Obviously Ryzen Master and GPU-Z will check the CPU temp at different milliseconds, which could lead to different temperatures

 

[ketma]

No, that's not correct its way out.....try it for yourself.

Hwinfo is the closest thing to AMD's own algorithms, considering AMD worked on it with hwinfo. Although it should be noted that the code in Ryzen master is proprietary.

I'm not doubting that I was just raising the point that the cpu temp monitoring in cpu-z is not accurate at all. I don't rely on it anymore....

To be fair, CPUZ doesn't have temp monitoring. You were using GPUZ. No one uses gpuz for temp monitoring longterm, maybe as a spot check but not part of any system monitoring.

Yes, thats what I meant, GPU-Z, (not sure why I referred to cpu-z!?), but I don't use it longterm, but even as a spot check its not even worth using that value.
