In addition to the CPus monitoring and reporting fucntions which include Core Temperatures and "CPU Package Temperatures", MoBo manufacturers include a chip on board to take various readings and provide monitoring and control functions. You have to make sure what you are reading. for CPUs I recommend RoG Real Benchĭo you happen to know what Afterburner is monitoring when it claims to be monitoring my CPU temps?Īgain, as per the above almost 2 year old posts. In order to compare with other folks temps, you need to be running the exact same thing.įor GPUs, I recommend Furmark. In addition, "while gaming" does not represent and known and repeatable condition. I would suggest turning off the monitoring functions of all active utilities and using HWiNFO64 to measure all temps, voltages, power and other functions. The problem is that running multiple programs may interfere and result in them making each other inaccurate. Many folks use multiple utilities because some of the ones they are using might not show everything they want to see. Your CPU, I'm assuming 4790k for the purposes of this discussion has 4 physical cores, HT adds another 4 "virtual cores". the confusion arises from the assumption that they are measuring different things (internal versus external sensors). There are many different CPU temperature measurements measured by various utilities.
