Some devices display varying temperatures in NXZT CAM and Ryzen Master.
Some devices display varying temperatures in NXZT CAM and Ryzen Master.
Hey, on my Ryzen 5 3600 I noticed inconsistent temperature readings. (Not all at once.) In Ryzen Master it's around 35-40°C idle, NZXT CAM shows 50 and even 60°C idle. RM says the clock drops below 1000MHz when idle, but NZXT CAM claims it stays above 3.6GHz and boosts even then. Are these tools off? What's really going on? I'm using the Ryzen Balanced power plan.
Ryzen Master offers the top performance tracking for Ryzen processors.
Sure, I understand you're curious about the temperature discrepancy. It might seem odd at first, but there could be several reasons behind it.
Yes, RM is displaying the accurate clock speeds and voltage. I don’t think it should be running at 3.6 GHz when idle.
They might refresh at varying speeds. When one is loaded before the other, each updates once per second, but because they start at different times, the first app could look out of sync compared to the other.
Verified, HWiNFO displays identical temperatures as Ryzen Master, whereas CAM shows a 15-degree variation between the two.
CAM monitors the CPU package temperature and shows it as CPU temperature, whereas RM checks the CPU core temperature but not the package or die temperature.
