OK got myself a new 4670K CPU this week and I have Core Temp and Hardware Monitor for keeping an eye on my CPU temps....but not entirely sure what reading to go with as below

Sorry if this thread is in the wrong place
thanx

I would go with Core Temp! CPUID is known for it's inaccuracies.

OK thank you Snips

Just as an observation but of the screenshots you've posted, they are measuring different things.

Actually, he is correct! TZ01 would be the CPU temp, the reading on the 'CPU' section wouldn't be right! In all honesty the accuracy of CPUID has a lot to be desired!

OK so just stick with Core Temp and use what it states as an average reading which is around 25-27c on idle

You can also try Real Temp, that seems to be a good accurate alternative!

Expand the CPUID Intel Core xxx drop-down.
