Which CPU core should I look at for temperature?

CPU package, idk what is the name in corsair's software, but on HWINFO it's usually CPU package. Basically it is the overall temperature of the CPU across all cores.

I have a temperature monitor on my Corsair AIO LCD screen that tells me the real time temperature of my CPU. I'm wondering which core I should set the reading to. Is Core #1 more accurate than the others or is there a general consensus that when you say "my CPU temp is X" that you are referring to the temperature of a specific core?

Thanks for the info. I do see that in the Corsair iCUE software so I'll use that.
