I understand that I want to keep my TCase temperature lower then 72 degrees. But which of these temps is actually TCase?



Couldn't find the answer with a quick google so coming here :) Thanks

Ok, I do actually have Realtemp :) Thanks though. For the moment I am using both monitoring programs.

Realtemp is showing 4 core temperatures but as I understand it TCase is a different measurement. Maybe it is the 'package' temp shown by hardware monitor? Just a guess :)

T Case is measured at the geometric center on the topside of the processor integrated heat spreader. T Case is not monitored by any programs.
