Temp Monitoring - Most Accurate?

I have a question friends... I have an i7 8700K running all cores 4.8GHz with a CoolMaster ML360R AIO push+pull. What is the most accurate application to measure temps as there are discrepancies between the 3 on my system? e.g. At idle: MSI Command Center 34°C - Coretemp 55°C and HWinfo 63°C

i always go with HWinfo. it breaks it up shows you min max and average across all cores

You can set a offset in core temp if you know what it is.  Or try Aida

each tool has their own parameters and drivers to handle the motherboard sensors, so each tool does thigs fdifferent

 

some sensor apps even tell you they are measuring one thing but give you the value of other

 

some motherboards sometimes use bad quality sensors so the measurements they give could be wrong

 

yes a probe directly over the cpu will give you the right answer

 

i personaly trust more on hwinfo

 

but seeing such differneces on all 3 tools, it might be a motherboard with low quality sensors

 

what motherboard is it? are you using the latest versions of those tools to measure temps?

Personally I use CAM - https://www.nzxt.com/camapp

I just set it up on my second monitor and monitor it while playing games
