the package temp is inside the cpu and the "cpu" temp is the censor on top of it.

 

also use "HWInfo64" not "HWMonitor" for more accurate and more readings overall.

no. see above.

Hallo. I was monitoring my CPU while doing a spot of gaming, just to the see the min (few minutes after boot) and max (gaming) values. It occurred to me that I occasionally take my CPU temp as the temp, and sometimes I read the Package (Node 0) value, which most of the time doesn't set off alarm bells anyway. I read a couple of non-informative mentions of it online. Most didn't have much of an idea what it was for, but the general theme was that the Node 0 value was a 20°C offest from CPU temp.

 

Just curious if this value applies to my CPU at all (2700x)? Also, why is max value offset at 10°C ?

 

A pic included for example. CPU loads didn't exceed 68%, and highest loaded thread was 89%. Room temps were 22°C to °24C.

everything seems fine. if you are not fine with your temps and voltage on idle consider making a negative voltage offset in the bios. that mostly applies on idle. i run my 3700x at -0.075V on the bios

Nah, it's all good. I was a little curious at the CPU max of 78°C (HWmonitor) when CPU load max was 68%, but I came to the conclusion that the fan was doing what it had to, to maintain 70°C on the 'Node 0' (Tdie). I only started noticing because my better half overdid the central heating, and the room was cooking at 24°C. 🙂
