They can interefer with each other if two temp sensing softwares try to measure at the same time, but honestly the motherboard one should be more accurate so RealtempGT might just be off by a bit

I noticed something odd. My motherboard is reporting different temperatures than RealtempGT. I have run the sensor test so it shouldn't be a calibration issue. Any ideas why the two would be so far off on the temperature of the CPU?

How far is "so far off"?

RealTemp has always reported different temps for me than the AI Suite from ASUS. The delta is sometimes 10+ degrees off. I just choose to ignore it.

 

This is because realtemp gives you the temps for the individual cores and your other software is giving you the overall package temp.

When in doubt, re-format.

O, sorry, pic didn't load on work PC. Also, could be the mobo is reading the chip's case temp while the software is reading on die temps. Possibly?

Could be. I hadn't seen the hardware monitor since I went to Windows 10 because it wasn't supported. Then when I got the patch I notice the temps were off. Honestly don't know it that was the case on 8.1
