CPU temperature checking software question.

I've been using HWMonitor for a long time. I always thought that I should be reading off of OThnCND.png

and not: N5bqy4i.png

 

However now I am confused. I installed Core Temp and it seems to be reading the package temps. 5Fo63qo.png

 

Which temp should I be looking at?

 

CPU - FX 8350 @ 4.5GHZ ▒ GPU - Radeon 5700 ▒ Mobo - M5A99FX Pro R2.0 ▒ RAM - Crucial Ballistix 16GB @ 1600 ▒ PSU - Corsair CX600M ▒ CPU Cooler - Hyper 212 EVO ▒ Storage - Samsung EVO 250GB, WD Blue 1TB

I use HWmonitor and I read from the package temp of the CPU probe.

Package temps just don't seem legit. These are my results of Prime95 temps. CPU temp looks more accurate because there's no way I'm getting 33c max load on air.

What verison of HWMonitoir you have? My temps are kinda sameish. Also, I see core 0 to 3 + package.

What motherboard do you have?

For me, the only software that can read my CPU temps are MSI control center, Everything else says it is Faar to high.

Yeah, I see with the logo you don't have the most recent version, try updating it and see.

Updated it, no change though.

Just tried SpeedFan. Same thing. It shows around 15c idle. That shouldn't be possible.

Then maybe you have a faulty processor probe, like the processor temp probe has a problem or something.
