which cpu temp program should i trust?

[aggelos123]

hello.yesterday i built my first gaming pc
amd athlon x4 750k
sapphire radeon hd 7770
i installed CPUID HWMonitor to check the temps.idle temp was 40C with this program and when i gamed it showd 60C+.i downloaded easy tuning 6 from gigabyte and easy tuning 6 shows idle temp of 21C and gaming temp that reaches 40C and a little bit higher..which program should i trust to check the cpu temp?easy tuning 6 which is for gigabyte mobos(mine is gigabyte btw) or cpuid hwmonitor?

I personally use HWMonitor as well, but just to double check it's pretty simple. Go into your bios and see what the temperature of your cpu is. Then look at the two programs and see which one has an idle temperature closer to your motherboard (maybe a little hotter cause you are running OS). Then just use that program.

Actually the temps in windows while idling should be lower since most of the time power saving and downclocking features aren't in effect in the bios.

..ok guys..5 days ago i installed cooler master hyper 212 evo...i applied thermal paste with the credit card method(thin layer) and installed the cooler properly.now my idle temp is 40C AGAIN!...in full load while stressing the cpu with intel burn test my cpu temp doesnt go above 65C...most of the time it stays around 62-63C...(according to hw monitor)..easy tune 6 displayes some crazy temps...in full load it says that my cpu is 37C 😛...its impossible..easy tune 6 definetly displays wrong temps...

If your at stock clocks then 37 degrees is about right 😛

37C in full load with 212 evo and a 100watt cpu?i dont think its logical..easy tune 6 displayes definetely wrong cpu temp...i mean while in idle it says that my cpu is 21C!thats imposible again..i gonna go with hw monitor..when i go tho the bios the temp is 33C..hw monitor in idle displayes 40C..while in load it displays about 63C...

if you check CPu-Z the 750k is actually a 65w chip and it should also say so on the box

im sorry..my mistake..but again i dont consider these temps: (21C idle and 40C full load) logical for air cooling..

I wouldn't recommend using Easytune, all I use is Gigabyte mobos on all my builds and Easytune is buggy.i never use it.
Uninstall it.
Set up your rig manually in bios for best results.
I use Coretemp ,Realtemp,and my mobo bios for temperature comparisons.
All basically the same readings.
