You can use HWInfo, you just need to do some minimal configuring.

 

Open settings and go to Tray Icons then just enable it for your CPU temps.

Hello, 

 

Recently upgraded to a Ryzen 5 7600x and it seems that some software struggles to find the correct temps.

 

I have been using a program called CoreTemp for years for my previous CPU, it allows me to put a simple temp display onto my notification area in Windows. But from what I've seen and read online CoreTemp, HWMonitor and some others do not report the temps properly.

Ryzen Master and HWInfo show the correct temps, but there is no option like CoreTemp to be able to keep it in the taskbar. Currently CoreTemp shows my CPU temps are about 5c higher than they actually are, I don't mind this but it's not ideal.

Does anyone know a program which would allow me to do this while reporting the correct temps?
