Core temps vs. CPU

[Benny144]

Just runnign Aida64 trial but noticed on other software too.
The readign for "CPU temp" is aroudn 42 degrees where as the individual CPU cores all hover around 68 - 70 degrees. Whats going on?

Now my CPU is at 50 and cores at 80. I'm new to this, can anyone explain? What should i be paying attention to? I just presumed CPU temp was an average of the cores.

I've always been under the impression that core temps where the ones worth looking at and CPU temp is a sensor near the CPU socket.

Is that idle temps?

Is that idle temps?

No no, Aida64 100% stress test

 

[koooowweeee]

No no, Aida64 100% stress test

Thank God haha

The temps are on the high side.

Core(s) temps are what you want to look at. I like to keep under 70c but they can go higher.

70c at full load is nothing for a 4790k

Mine would be maxed at 85c in aida.

interesting, and what would the "CPU temp" be?
What overclock you running?

I'll have a look. Package temp is lower and I'm at 4.5ghz 1.236v. My temps are high because I run a quiet fan. This is a compromise I'm happy to make as this pc covers htpc duties in the front room alongside gaming and photo work.

Any news?

With water cooling mine reacts rather differently, i ran realbench for a bit and copied temps from hwinfo64.
............................Current.......Minimum.....Maximum
Core Max...................21...............17.............46
Cpu Package..............22...............19.............48

Cpu package temp reacts a lot slower than core temps but genrally is around the same temp, might be down to water cooling though.

Mines water cooler too on a 240mm AIO

Still no answer then :s

Sorry, my mobo has been back to gigabyte.

Fully stressed in Aida, core 2 hits 80c with the rest in the mid to high 70's.

CPU temp is 64c.

Package temp is same as highest core and it seems my temps have dropped recently from the aforementioned 85c when I reseated my cooler.
