Phenom II CPU Temp - CPU or Core

[simbady]

Hi, from looking around on the net I’ve seen some debate on what temperature to check from on the Phenom II's. I thought that on HWMon i should be reading off the core temps but others say to look at the CPU temp I just want to clarification on this.
Currently running a 1055t with a 3.6Ghz OC Temps below. - Cooler is a Akasa Venom

Cheers for clearing this up for me guys, previously I had been overclocking based on Core temp max being 62C, maybe explaining why i couldn’t get to 4Ghz so easily . Considering the max temp on prime is around 60C and it never goes that high during gaming the current OC is OK right?

At the moment my system is running almost silently the CPU and ramp up much more if need be.

Sadly the fractal case fans the i filled up most the case with dont push a ton of air.
