aida64 temps; which ones to look at?

[zyntaxable]

Hi,

 

when I am monitoring my temps in aida, it says the CPU is 50c. but all the cores are lower, at 31. Does this mean that the socket is 50c, and the cpu itself 31?

 

Thanks in advance!

That doesn't really make sense, but yes you are reading it correctly. But the CPU socket should, and for sure actually is, cooler than the actual cores.
 

Something isn't reporting correctly... I assume the cores are not showing correctly seeing as they are all identical at 31 which is damn near impossible for them to all be the exact same.

So should I use another program to check the temperatures? It's quite essential since I'm trying to overclock haha

I use coretemp... Try that, see what it tells you. If they both show the same results, the mobo must not be reporting things correctly...

 

But yes, seeing as you are trying to OC that is pretty important.

Adia64 is a stress test to validate your overclock AFTER you finish your overclock

Those numbers look highly suspect.  I'd try sending that question to AIDA64 customer support.

 

Barring any response from them the only number I would trust is the CPU score.  I'd ignore the lower Core figures until told otherwise.

 

+1 to verifying with Coretemps or some other software.

Core Temp gives the same result... I find the 49c more probable, because i am stress testing with prime95, with so far a very minor overclock. But then again, wouldn't 50c be high for such a minor OC with my cooler?

Still not buying those numbers.  All cores exactly the same, and eighteen degrees lower than the CPU measured as a whole?

 

You'd expect to see at least some deviation between cores, if only a degree or two.  Something is not reporting properly.

It can be used as monitoring softfare too. Don't point out obvious....

 

@zyntaxable the higher temp you see could be mobo sensor instead of CPU sensor. You could ignore it.  It is AMD chip after all and common knowledge that they have dodgy temp sensors.
