When checking HWiNFO64, focus on the CPU temperature under your selected row—Core 0 or Core 1 depends on what you're monitoring. For your i5-2500K, the DTS category is ideal for detailed performance insights. C-State Residency helps track stability and performance trends. Let me know if you need more guidance!
The CPU includes several thermal probes, which is why temperatures are recorded per core. I generally check the average temperature across cores and aim to find minimal differences between them (which might indicate issues like improper cooling or mounting). This approach works well even on solid-state chips like yours.
