Conflicting temperature readings.

Wrb · December 26, 2016

Hello, I've just installed my new air cooler (Hyper 212 Evo) and I was trying to check the temperatures but got completely different temps. While idle the UEFI says about 35, HW monitor says about 45 and AMD overdrive says 70. I'm running a A10 7870k APU at stock speeds. Anyone know why there are multiple and which one is right? I want to see if the new cooler is better and with 3 different temps I cannot see how much of an improvement there is.

(Temps are in Celsius)

AMD over driver gives you the delta to tcase e.g if you have 70c that means there is 70c between it now and where it would throttle. Amd isles temps are always wrong as they use an algorithm to work out temp seems to work under load though.
