Cpu temp is different all across the board?

If I check my Cpu (amd fx-8320) temperatures, they are all different across the board. Hw monitor says 69 degrees regardless of underload or idle. Speed fan reports 70 idle and core temp is 69 idle too. However, amd overdrive reports 37 ish idle and under load 54 ish. Also idle my thermal margin is 0.6. Can anyone tell me why it's different? My motherboard is an asrock extreme 3 970

AMD Temp sensors suck mostly, use HW Monitor and look for socket temp or something that looks like it's coming off the die.

My rig: Intel Core i7-8700K OC 4.8 | NZXT Kraken X62 | ASUS Z370-F | 16 GB Trident Z RGB 3000 (2x8) | EVGA 1070 SC | EVGA SuperNova NEX650G1 | NZXT H700 | Samsung 250GB 850-EVO | 2x 2TB Seagate Barracuda HDDs

AMD temp sensors are total bullshit 100% of the time. And the other 50% of the time they are using an algorithm to determine temps.

I'll give another example. I'm on my laptop right now and hwmonitor says my amd cpu is 140 degrees celsius right now. Overdrive says 55 degrees celsius and speed fan says 76. Is there a monitor out there that can show my actual temp?
