Which CPU temp monitor should I believe???

OK, so there is 10ºC difference between these which should i believe? Getting close to 70ºC (M0 e2160, so limit is 73ºC). I'm currently at 3Ghz at 1.4v and want to get minimum 3.2Ghz out of it so need to know which temp is accurate :confused:

TIA

TAT is well known to be rubbish

+1, nearly everyone uses this

Personally I would just ignore them all and go for your max stable clock that you're happy with.

Coretemp and TAT are the most used.

i am more inclined to believe realtemp as it is 30º at boot-up (same as bios), coretemp shows 20ºC idle under a Tuniq - seems unlikely to me, but thx for the comments

be safe and go with whichever shows the highest temp.
Otherwise coretemp is pretty good.
