Both SpeedFan and Open HWMonitor cannot detect CPU temperature reading (and core loads)

Samsung 960 EVO Series - 250GB PCIe NVMe - M.2 SSD
Antec NeoEco II Series NEO-ECO2-550 80Plus Bronze 550W PSU
MSI GeForce® GTX 1070 GAMING X 8GB GDDR5
Corsair VENGEANCE® LED 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 3000MHz C15 - White LED
AMD RYZEN R7 1700 3.7GHz 16M L3 8 Core 16 Thread 65W AM4
Gigabyte GA-AB350M-Gaming 3 AM4 M.ATX

WIN10 64 bit.

The CPU temp doesnt show up in both SpeedFan and Open Hardware Monitor software. CPU load and other temperature readings, such as GPU, HDD, do show up.

I have to go into BIOS to see the CPU temp reading, how can I make monitoring software detect the CPU temp?


Also, it shows Core#1 to #16, most of the time #8-#16 stays at 0%. But sometimes some cores reach 100%, is this normal? It seems like some of the cores are not utilized and some of them are loading at 100%. Is this normal? Overall CPU usage rarely goes over 15%.

Just use the Gigabyte's own app - Easytune to monitor your CPU temps,

Or I use AIDA64 Extreme to monitor mine.

And yes, the CPU utilisation is normal, this is why some people prefer SMT off, so just 8 full cores, 8 threads, so they are all being utilised rather than 16 threads with just half being utilised
