Which temps to trust
Which temps to trust
Temperatures from RealTemp, HWMonitor, and CoreTemp vary. CoreTemp and HWMonitor readings match closely, while RealTemp is roughly 10 degrees lower. Clarify what units these values represent in HWMonitor—TZ00, TZ01, TMPIN0,1,2. These readings shouldn’t affect your overclocking decisions unless they indicate hardware stress. Check the attached images for more details.
HW monitor and core temp are identical, but actual temp stands alone. I’d choose core temp and HW monitor.
They rely on closed-source information, but that makes it hard to determine the best option.
