H/W Monitor wrong temperature?

[Denoahnator]

I've been having trouble with system crashing with my computer that I built last year and I figured it was overheating (hasn't crashed in 6 months because I disabled amd turbo core and dusted the fan (I hate dust)) But I've been using coretemp to read temperatures and I thought they were correct, (last time it crashed my cpu was at 69C running l4d2 in windowed) sometimes I use H/W Monitor and I was looking at the package temp for the processor and it was telling me it got up to 80-90C when playing League of legends so I thought that was stupid and ignored it. What I'm wondering is if I should be looking at the CPUTIN under the motherboard because that shows much more believable temperatures such as 30-40 idle 40-60 full load. Just now I took a picture of both h/w monitor and Core temp side by side during minecraft (only played for 2 minutes) and coretemp showed 18C and H/W monitor showed 60-78C on the package temp and 40-50 on the CPUTIN (I'm to busy to figure out how to upload the pic). Which is right?

Specs:
APU: AMD A8-5600k (CPU and built in GPU so that's why it gets so hot)
RAM: 2 x 4GB 1600 Corsair I believe
PSU: Rosewill Fortress 550W
MOBO: AsRock FM2A75M-DGS

Over the years I have tried a lot of temp monitoring software. Now I only use Core Temp as it in my experience shows the most accurate temps.

When my cpu is idle coretemp sometimes says 0 and some people said coretemp is most accurate during full load. Is that true? also it doesn't show each individual core temp all four are the same.

NEVER run two monitoring utilities at same time as they can interfere with one another

and you want to look at individual core temps

Short answer, yes.

AMD processors often display only one set of temperatures for the Core temperatures. I am not sure if it is because they share a sensor, or if it is because the reading only displays an average.
