Temp monitoring app

[Strongwolf2]

I'm using Piriform Speecy to monitor my temps. But there's a difference between what Speecy shows and what the bios shows. What's the best app(program) to monitor temps. without having to enter the bios? MB, MSI 970 Gaming with a AMD 8350 @ 4.1GHz. Using all 8 cores.

I like adia64 works well but it is not free

dos AMD overdrive have a OSD? I know adia64 dos and is supports other OSD aps

I got the trial version. Downloaded CPUID CPU-Z and CPUID CPUZ MSI but can't find temps on them.

I think so, I haven't used it in a couple of years but since it's free software directly from AMD so there's no reason not to try it.

Bios doesn't show idle or load temps so it's going to be different than anything in windows.

Downloaded AMD overdrive but can't get a clear temp. reading. It does show a "thermal margin of -8. I asume that's not good, so I'm going to downclock the cpu to 3.8. I think that would do it. BTW, I'm using a Deep Cool Captain 120 EX for cooling. Thank you all.

Nope that's not good, means the CPU is hotter then it should be and downclocking should help.

Downclock the cpu to 3.6GHz. Stabilized temps. are as follow; AMD overdrive thermal margin- +10.6; Speecy- 59C; AIDA 64- 52C. Thanks again, you are the best.
