MSI afterburner and HWmonitor showing two different cpu temps?

When I was using my VBA emulator with the MSI on afterburner screen display of my cpu and gpu temps, the temps for the cpu was 50-66 degrees.  At the same time, When I recheck on the HW Monitor it shows around 100 degrees....Like holy crap..Is this even accurate

 

laptop specs:

a10-5750m

8650g igpu

What good will that do?  Give me another random reading? Unless you want me to test out to see if the coretemp results match with either hwtemp or msi afterburner?

I see the same temps in both programs... just probably a poll timing issue.

sensors can be a lil screwy

 

coretemp works well for me with amd, hence my suggestion. its just another tool you can use to compare
