I have a core i5-4670K, using an after market air cooler.
Speed fan gives the following results at idle:
However RealTemp gives this reading:
Obviously there is somewhat of a difference between the two.
Which if any of these programs would you consider to be most accurate? If neither is there a free program that you would recommend?
Secondly, assuming one these tests is accurate, would you say that these temperatures are okay for idle? Ambient temperature was 22 degrees at the time of doing the tests...
I am a bit concerned having only just installed the cooler, that I may have applied the thermal paste incorrectly or something.
EDIT: Note this is at stock speeds etc. No overclock
