Hello everyone. I recently completed my first OC to 4ghz on my 6300, but I’m stopping now because of inadequate case airflow. I was curious about which temperature software provides the most accurate results. I’ve used speedfan for a long time, but after installing both HWmonitor and CoreTemp, I noticed the CPU temperatures are significantly higher than expected. Speedfan shows 64°C while the others display 58°C, even though they were stress tested. Interestingly, all other readings remain consistent across programs, which suggests the CPU itself is the main issue. It’s a bit confusing, so any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. What do you typically use?

I've fixed it now. The prime 95 has been active since I shared it, and there are no errors so far. The speed software is still working fine.

Well, I'm not sure what I'm discussing here.
