Intel XTU indicates a temperature of 190°F, while the infrared thermometer shows 116°F. Decide which reading you should believe based on your needs.

the 190F reflects the temperature inside the cpu, which might vary per core. Some processors include a sensor for each core, while others use a single sensor to gauge the entire package. The discrepancy in readings comes from measuring the outside temperature instead of the internal one.

the 190F reflects the temperature inside the CPU, possibly at each core. Some CPUs use a sensor for every core, while cheaper models have just one to measure the whole package. The difference in readings comes from measuring the outside temperature versus the internal one. Stick with the core temp reported by the CPU itself.
Thanks for the clarification!
Another query: is 88°C excessive for a Xeon X5650? It often reaches 95°C briefly, then drops to about 79-88°C during stress tests. The processor is currently overclocked at 3.2GHz with a voltage of 1.3375v.

70-80C represents a typical CPU temperature when under stress. 90C indicates overheating. Temperatures exceeding this point may cause accelerated degradation. 60C offers the best balance for handling loads, and achieving it usually requires a liquid cooling solution.

70-80C represents typical CPU temps under stress. 90C indicates overheating, and anything above that increases degradation risk. 60C is the sweet spot for load temperatures; liquid cooling can help you hit that. In Just Cause 3 (Ultra at 1080p), it only reaches around 68C, so yes, that's acceptable.

Maintain temperatures under 90C and your CPU will endure its intended lifespan. Specifics vary per CPU.
