Is CAM software accurate?

Cameron_99

Im currently converting some M4V files to MP4 and recently downloaded CAM to go with my Hue controller im getting for christmas. iv always used the Asus Fan expert software and found it pretty reliable. While monitoring CAM, i decided to pull of Asus and found a f5a2e24cb12fbd_CAMScreenshot.png.7281e852245bbc7b8a5a7735f97ee9af.png5a2e24ca7437e_Asusscreenshot.png.99edca6e69d1a2618de9f55a319aafd2.pngull 10 degree difference. Anyone know which software is more trustworthy?

You could use hwinfo/hwmonitor/cpuz to verify whats probably the more accurate temperature. Good thing to know would be if these two show the same sensor, there is more than one sensor on the board cpu related.

im leaning towards the Asus being the more accurate one. The CAM cpu sensor is going all over the place while the Asus is showing it to be a bit more stable, and the eyeballs agree with the stability lol

Use something like HWinfo which shows you all the CPU core temps, the CPU average temp, and the CPU socket temp.

Different programs will show you certain ones of these and that's why there is a difference.

HWinfo is saying my cores are around 81-83...all about 16C away form TjMAX. nothing is throttling though, so theres that. it is telling the power limit is exceeded, not sure what that means though. BIOS setting?

As long as you want, they are not dangerous temps.

It's probably not off, just reading a socket temp sensor.

If you use software like HWinfo you can see all the sensors and pay attention to the ones you want.
