Temperature sensor confusion?

[raistlinx37]

Just build a new pc and am trying to get it oc'ed but when I am running the Asus ai 3 and the corsair link they are returning 2 different temperatures sometimes as much as 10 degrees apart? any ideas/which one should i trust? the corsair link from the h100i is running hotter than the one from the board( Maximus vi formula).?

The AI Suite for my system reports temperatures ~11C cooler than the temperatures that RealTemp GT reports.  

 

It is up to you which one you want to trust, but most people will probably recommend RealTemp or some other similar program.  I would recommend that you download that program and go with that.  If you don't want to download a new program, it would probably be best to go with the conservative approach (ie. use the highest temperature to be safe)
