Hello, I'm checking both overdrive and hwmonitor to see which one gives the most accurate readings. I'm using an AMD X4 860k with an MSI A78M-E35 V2 board and an Asus Radeon R9 270, and nothing is overclocked. The images are taken at idle.

AMD Overdrive is the most reliable, and that's all I'd really depend on. A 61-degree margin is acceptable.

Usually I prefer hwmonitor, but I've noticed overdrive works better on apus. Because your CPU matches the socket of apus, I think overdrive is a safer choice.
