You should rely on the actual temperature sensor data, as it reflects real conditions. The display might show a slightly higher value due to its own calibration or display technology.
Several sensors are present, but on my X670E Taichi the 7-segment screen aligns with the CPU readings (Tctl/Tdie), which is what you should focus on. Fortunately, nowadays I don’t pay much attention to temperature, as it’s unnecessary if the system is running smoothly.
I used to focus heavily on it, having a large 30" 2560x1600 screen packed with HWiNFO graphs neatly arranged. Over time I noticed it wasn't essential once everything was running smoothly—I just played the game. When something seemed wrong, I'd press Alt-R and check Nvidia's overlay before setting it aside.
It doesn't follow the usual rules here. The warmth released affects power rather than core temperature. You can monitor Package Power in HWiNFO for details, but unless it's around 14900k, it's not something you'd consider in a climate-controlled room. Which CPU are we talking about? Even a 7950x under PBO stays under 250W or so, which is negligible. And a 7800x3D under heavy use is only about 40W—that's barely noticeable in a regular space. A CPU running at 60°C but using 350W is releasing more heat than one at 100°C but just 35W, similar to what you'd see in a laptop. Don't focus on temperature when it comes to this problem.
