My Ryzen 5 3600x is set to auto overclocking and has a Cooler Master hyper 212 cooler with an air intake right on top of it. I ran both programs at the same time while AIDA64 was checking things too. After running that stress test for ten minutes, Speccy showed my CPU going over 80 degrees, but AIDA64 never went above 44 degrees.

You're probably the only person with that fake temperature reading on Speccy, especially when you have a Ryzen chip. Use AMD's Ryzen Master app or just look at Hardware Info 64 instead of relying on Speccy.

Don't believe specmy when it says the heat is 80 degrees. That number is probably wrong.

You are probably correct. I believe 44 looks great when testing out. My cooling settings seem to be okay.

You aren't alone in getting that weird temp read on Speccy, and you're probably running a Ryzen chip too. Instead of Speccy, try using AMD's Ryzen Master software or the free Hardware Info 64 tool to check your actual CPU warmth.
