Help on CPU temperatures

Which of these two programs shows the right CPU temperatures. At ideal they are about the same but when running prime95 there is 10c to 15c difference.

CPUID

That would make Fan Xpert useless as the fans controled by it would not ramp up as they are needed inline with the true temperature.

Cpuid will be correct but get coretemp or realtemp and see what they say

CPUID is accurate core temp. Doesn't really matter if Fan Xpert shows 45c when core is really 60c.

Fan Xpert still controls the fans, just not reading CPU temp accurately. Set fans to ramp up 100% at 45c knowing that 45c is really 60c.

Having a Gigabyte mobo I use ET6 set 100% fan at 50c so fans ramp to 100% as real core temp reaches 60c.
