WTF is the actual CPU temp?

[WhatComesAround]

Ok so without going into details, I am trying to find out what my damn CPU temperature is. On Ryzen master it says one things, one scary thing, on MSI after burner it's A-OK, and on hardware monitor it's cool as a cucumber!! So which is right? I don't understand. Why is it so hard to display the temperature?

becuase software can be shit at times. I use AIDA64, honestly, it doesn;t really matter

I've figured that MSI after burner CPU temp and the HWMonitor Package temp are the same, so I am guessing the HWMonitor's CPU temp is accurate? But what space time dimension Ryzen Master pulls it's CPU temps from I have no clue whatsoever.

hwmonitor.

I've seen task manager report my PC as 131% utilized, so :shurg:

You have multiple sensors.

 

For the 'CPU' label you usually have:

 

CPU package ( highest core temp)

CPU temp ( average core temp)

Socket temp.

 

Depending on the software ,any of them can be used for 'CPU' temp.

 

Ideally u would use software that picks up all the sensors temps and then choose which one to use to display. I use Aida64 and have CPU temp , which shows the current average core temp for my single figure display on my keyboard, whilst I have all sensors showing on the software graph.
