Which is the real temperature?

[Devdutt Bhatt]

Hi Friends,

My PC Specs are as below:
APU 10-6800k
8 gb RAM
GTX 1050 Ti 4GB Dedicated Graphic Card.

I am using Speccy for monitoring cpu temperature.
When I start a game, I uses MSI Afterburner for fps. MSI also shows the temperature of my cpu.

My question is,

That speccy shows 112° C and MSI Afterburner shows 75 to 80° C. Which one is real?

The only program that you can trust is http://www.amd.com/en-us/innovations/software-technologies/technologies-gaming/over-drive when there is an AMD CPU/APU present. It doesn't display straight-forward temps. so http://www.tomshardware.com/faq/id-2122665/understanding-temperature-amd-cpus-apus.html might be helpful. If another program is showing an identical margin then I'd trust that one as well. Speccy is wrong. If your CPU was at that temp. your PC would have slammed into the thermal wall and shut down.

yes ... speccy gives me a similar false temp with my AMD APU. I use CoreTemp now - it works great and allows you to put the temp reading (as well as ram load & cpu load) on the taskbar - kinda handy!
