None. For Intel either go RealTemp or HWiNFO. In my experience those 2 are the most consistent and most accurate ones. 

ahh ok, downloaded RealTemp and the temps are almost identical to Core Temp

HWInfo is the one i trust generally, seems to be the best at picking up sensors

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

Spoiler

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

do you have the latest version of HWMonitor? Because for me it shows system memory utilization percentage below System / CPU Fans RPM.

i don't have 'system memory utiliazation' anywhere in hwmonitor, only vram usage

Each app has a time process where it updates in intervals.  If you open up different temp apps you wont see the same temp because the timing they give to show you the temp is different.
