Diferent temperatures of the CPU package in 2 softwares

[Lomete]

As the title says i'm getting two different temperatures by 2 programs at the same time.

CPUID HWMonitor V 1.30 ------> 44ºC

Command Center 1.0.1.15 ------> 48ºC


Motherboard: x99A godlike gaming (ms-7883)
CPU: i7-5930k
Windows 10 64-bit
BIOS: 1.8

The command center it's an old version and it's probably due to this, but i want to ask before updating it because i have a ramdisk set up with this program and i wouldn't like to touch it if is not necesary.

Lol, it happens a lot. But.... different programs may also show two different sensors, Core and Package that differ by few degrees depending on voltages and loads. So first thing is to assure is that programs read same sensor.

CountMike sayd it
Also to add in, different programs can have different refresh rate. Like one reads the current temps eatch 0,5 secs, while the other reads eatch 2 secs.

As i thought, it's not that simple as i would like =P
