[SOLVED] 3 different CPU temperature readings from 3 Softwares

Solution
Take a look at individual cores in HWMonitor/CPUID - chances are one (or more) of the utilities are looking at 'package' temps and others are looking at hottest core.

A ~13'C swing is substantial, but not unheard of as a core to core difference.
I've never looked at Afterburner for anything more than GPU temps/fan, honestly..... and CAM has been pretty buggy on all fronts historically, so if I had to trust one outright, it would be HWMonitor/CPUID.
