Monitoring system doesn't capture CPU temperatures accurately.
Monitoring system doesn't capture CPU temperatures accurately.
I've been using Fan Control and observed that when I tried to view the CPU temperature in hwmonitor, it would freeze and the fans stayed at their set speed. I thought this was due to a conflict, so I kept Fan Control running which seemed to be handling it well. After switching my GPU to a used unit for stress testing, I monitored the stats but faced issues with Windows tools. The BIOS temperature readings were normal, but anything I tried in Windows, including Fan Control, didn't work. The GPU temperature was showing correctly in hwmonitor and afterburner. I'm hesitant about updating BIOS just in case the readings become inaccurate and the system crashes during the process. Asus A520M Ryzen 5 4500, changed from EVGA 3060 to Gigabyte 3090, running Windows 10 (version uncertain). TIA
