    I overclocked my Skylake cpu via BCLK oc (thanks to ASRock SkyOC). The consequence is that core temperature reading will be disabled. With that, the core temperature reading in CoreTemp and Afterburner are inoperative. Afterburner shows a constant 100°c CPU temperature. HWiNFO shows the cpu package temperature correctly. AIDA and OCCT can show CPU package temperature too. I know I can get the OSD with HWiNFO+RTSS. I'm wondering if I can tweak Afterburner settings so that it can display the correct CPU package temperature instead of a fix 100°c.

    You're talking about socket sensor, not a package one. An no, AB doesn't natively support it because it also requires natively supporting motherboards and their on-board sensors. But if you believe that it is necessary and easy to implement, with plugins you can develop it yourself now and share with the community.

    Do I need to uninstall the current version first? Or do I just install the latest beta over the current version?

    Install over; if it does not work uninstall and delete profiles.
    Simple enough.

    I have installed the latest 4.4.0 beta19... nope, it's still a showing a constant 100°c instead of correct package temperature.

    During uninstallation, I have selected the option to delete previous saved settings.

    I've installed the latest Afterburner 4.4.0 Stable... Sigh, it's still a constant 100°c.
    What's the meaning of this in the change log then?

    Sigh, it is meaningless of course and I just fool users.
