I am not an Overclocker but I do need to know what my real 2700x CPU temps are in order to know if the stock cooler is doing a good enough job and to know if a game will make it cook.

So the problem is consistancy in reported 2700x CPU Core temps being reported by different software, for example as follows...
SPEECY at idle says all 8 cores are 95C-103C and that is the Min and Max too !!
Ryzen Master shows at Idle 40C-46C with Max of 60C
NZXT's COM shows at Idle steady at 45C with a Max of 60C

What is the likely temp to believe?
Better question is, What is a GREAT program to use?

For YEARS I used SpeedFan but it doesn't show even 1 of the 8 cores.

My basic system details:
Motherboard -GIGABYTE X470 AORUS ULTRA GAMING
CPU - Ryzen 7 2700X
Stock CPU cooler

If you need screenshots of each reported Temps I can make them, I didn't do it since I thought it was a bit forward of me.
If this is the wrong Forum section please move it to the proper one and let me know. I don't want to break rules or be rude to anyone.
Sorry for being so wordy and verbose...I just hope to get a LOT of opinions from the PROS in here 🌈
