    Hey!

    I always had a difference of 7Cº and 10Cº between the CPU and Cores temps. But I don't know what temp is the REAL CPU temp. What temp should I care about? I recently did a little of OC to the CPU so I would like to know how much the real temp increased.

    I could post a screenshot but I'm at work right now, so I'll probably do it later.

    Thanks for your answers.

    Core temperature is the one to watch

    Ok thanks for the answer. So the other temp from what it is? Where should it be located in the mobo?

    Underneath the socket. Use it for idle temps but for higher than about 40c watch core as mentioned above.

    Sorry for the late response, but thanks for your answers. I can confirm that my CPU temps look good. I'll guess that I'll just ignore the CPU temp from now on.
