Best CPU temperature monitor?

[Darell3]

Ive been using CoreTemp for a while and ive used prime95 for 10hrs and my Cpu @ 3.1ghz dual core only hit a max of 20degress and i dont believe it, so im asking for a more accurate software you guys use for monitoring your temps.

Thanks,

Have you got Speccy? that is a good multi purpose one. Or SpeedFan is another good one. I use both and seem to be pretty accurate.

Yeah i got Speccy, thanks for the SpeedFan suggestion. :D

RealTemp is what I use.

HWMonitor, AIDA64. AIDA64 has its own stress test utility w/temp graph, just check the boxes cpu, fpu, cache and memory and start. stay away from the gpu stress test on AIDA.

i've always used realtemp

Your motherboard's BIOS

RealTemp is and will ever be the best one. Trust me

RealTemp is the most commonly used one it would seem. It has a clear and concise layout and is accurate.

You should use realtemp it's the best one

i'm recently using HW Monitor from CNET, but everyone says realtemp so go get one!

RealTemp is and will ever be the best one. Trust me

but it seems like it can't run on AMD processor, any idea?

Hmm no idea sorry.. working fine for me

Realtemp only works for INTEL cpus, but it is a very well regarded temp monitor. I use CoreTemp and HW monitor, both seem fairly accurate.

On Windows 7 I used HWmonitor because there was all temps, but on Windows 8 I use RealTemp because HWmonitor doesn't work.

HWMonitor :)

After coretemp started to show false readings (way too low temps), I started to use realtemp.

HWMonitor+

the best would have to be HWINFO64. it does tones of stuff apart from temps..

I don't know whether I should open new topic or write here...

I have AMD Phenom II 955 C3 procesor, equiped with stock cooler. I'm confused which monitoring software is right.

I have ASUS AI Suite II utility which shows temperatures pretty much the same as ASUS UEFI BIOS. These temperatures are rather consistent, so that means they don't change every second, and when they change, it's almost always by only one C degree. HW monitor shows the same temperatures. That is not the case with PC Meter and CoreTemp. Their readings are changing every second. What is the trick with all these temperature readings? Are they being measured from different spots/places?

Second question is related to first one. AMD's official maximum temperature for my processor is 62 C degrees. Now I want to ask "Which 62 C degrees?". Is that by BIOS, ASUS AI Suite 2, HW monitor, or by CoreTemp, PC Metter?

Third question for guys who have experience with AMD Phenom IIs. From time to time it can happen for CPU to get hotter than 62 degrees. What is in your opinion absolutely maximum temperature for Phenom II 955 C3?

RealTemp is really clean and easy to use and is often considered to be the most reliable temperature monitoring program.

HWMonitor is awesome. I've never had SpeedFan work correctly since 2003.
