Ryzen 5 2600 4.0ghz Confusing Temps

[CiaranG99]

So i overclocked my cpu to 4ghz and my temps while browsing seem to be around 35-45 degrees, I ran heaven benchmark maxed out and the temps were showing me 70+ on the benchmark but on ryzen master it was only showing between 40-50 degrees. What one is right? (I think its ryzen master but I'm lost at this stuff)

Setup:
GTX 1060
R5 2600 OC to 4GHz
Corsair 8GB 2400mhz
MSI X470 Gaming Plus
Noctua NH-D15s
Corsair 300R Case
2 Case fans that came with my case

Heaven built in monitoring shows your GPU temp, not CPU.

Ryzen Master is the correct temp, most of the 3rd party monitoring software is inaccurate compared to AMD's software.

Thinking about that now it makes a lot of sense lmao, I feel really dumb right about now. Do you have any recommendations for bench marking software to test out my cpu on or is heaven a pretty good one?

Cinebench is a popular CPU benchmark. For stress testing your CPU, Prime95 (v26.6) is often used.

thank you soo much and with ryzen master is it better to view my average temps or my current temps?

Use Ryzen Master to monitor idle, load & benchmark temps. You could Try HWmonitor (make sure you use the latest version) and see if that's close to what your getting on Ryzen Master. I like HWmonitor as it's easy to use and records your min/max temp however I haven't used it with a Ryzen CPU, only Intel and older AMD CPU's (X4 965/850).
