Greetings, I recently updated my system with a new motherboard, processor and DDR4 ram. My new processor which is Ryzen7 2700X came with a cooler and I use it. But as soon as I start my computer the Diode Temp says 95C. How is that possible? And I used 2 different softwares to measure it and they show different values. I am completely lost. I will add the system info and the screenshots of the measurement softwares.



Motherboard: MSI X370 SLI PLUS (MS-7A33) BIOS version 3.B0
Processor: Ryzen7 2700X 4.3Ghz Max Boost, 3.7 Ghz Base (Not overclocked, default bios settings)
Graphics: MSI R9 380 (MS-V201) 2GB (driver version 18.2.1)
Ram: 8GB HyperX DDR4 (not overclocked)

That software caused me a couple of blue screens and a system recovery :fou:

I am using Ryzen Master now and it shows 38.5C idle temp. So what the **** is CPU Diode temperature?
 
AMD Ryzen Master is the correct program, and about the only one that will show you the correct temperature. On my 2700X, HWiNFO shows the cpu temp as +10 C over Ryzen Master temps.
