Question getting two different readings on the cpu temp need advice

[packersfan036]

im using a asus b450m prime board with a ryzen 7 1700x cpu overclocked to 3.85 ghz and voltage set to auto and my 16gb of corsair dominator platinum 3200 MHz is overclocked to 3333 mhz. im getting different temps from the programs core temp and speccy, also the temps are fluctuating. need advice, thanks

What difference in temps do you see? It's normal for temps to fluctuate at idle due to ryzens turbo states and power settings in windows.
Use HWmonitor to monitor temps. https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html
Ryzen master is also useful, but HWmonitor can monitor a ton of temps.

well the coretemp is from 30c to 40c and speccy is reading like 57c all the time. kinda weird. hwinfo has 2 different temp readings so im confused here. these are idle temps. my cpu cooler is a corsair h100i v2 aio.

Use the cpu package temp

Use the cpu package temp

aida64 is reading the lower idle temps as well.

 

[packersfan036]

Use the cpu package temp

do you think aida64 is a good program to use?

 

[packersfan036]

Use the cpu package temp

and is ryzen master good? I can also download that as well. I already have been using, aida64, hwinfo 64, and speccy.

 

[NightHawkRMX]

Ryzen master is good.

 

[packersfan036]

Ryzen master is good.

ok ill download ryzen master, and im going to run a cpu stress test on aida64 ill be right back.

 

[packersfan036]

Ryzen master is good.

ok, while running the cpu stress test, the temps were 49c to 50c, not bad.... im going to download ryzen master and see what the readings are on there.

 

[packersfan036]

Ryzen master is good.

oh ya also while running the cpu stress test windows was reporting the cpu utilization at 99% shouldn't it be 100%?

 

[NightHawkRMX]

99%~100%
This is normal.

 

[packersfan036]

99%~100%
This is normal.

ok cool, I just installed ryzen master, im going to restart the pc, then ill check temps, and ill be back and let you know the results. thanks for your help.

 

[packersfan036]

99%~100%
This is normal.

all cpu cores are at 3.85 MHz, idle temps are from 32c to 42c

 

[NightHawkRMX]

Sounds abought right.

 

[packersfan036]

Sounds abought right.

one more question, this motherboard is nice, but no heatsinks on the vrm, but the motherboard temps are pretty good. do you think overclocking is ok? 3.85mhz is as good as its going to get.

May be able to get a mild overclock. If just keep the stock speeds or lock the cpu to like 4ghz.

ya im going to leave the cpu at 3.85mhz seems to be stable, but first going to run cinebench and see if I don't crash lol

Always use the Ryzen software to monitor temps , the others don't usually read it correctly.

cinebench r15 score was 1661 and cpu temps maxed out at 62c

62c is pretty cool for a cinebench run so you can potentially get a bit of an overclock.
I think ryzen has a temperature offset and reads temperatures differently than intel, so it would make sense AMDs own software reads the temperature the most accurately.

I use hwmonitor so ill check ryzen master ans see if my temps are different.

I am overclocked to 3.85 and voltage set to auto and working good.

neat.
