Hello, so the title says it all in HW monitor I can see 2 cpu temperature readings. The first is the MB sensor and the second is the CPU I suppose? Which one do I need to worry about? Which of these is the most accurate?

Thank you !
 
Solution
both are! cpu is socket temp <70C and package is core temp <60C in order to avoid any possible throttle! temps must be above 40c to get an accurate reading! expect socket temps to be higher than core temps!
