System running normal, No OC at the moment, no issues ....

I'm looking at 4 different programs: RC TweakIt, CPUID Hardware Monitor, AI Suite II and Intel Extreme Tuning Utility. Currently using Corsair H100 and set at max. . The Temp. reading of all programs at the same time all different.

Which one of these programs tell me the true and close enough reading on the CPU temperature ??

TIA :confused:

I use 2 progs..

I use probe II as reference, and adjust the offset in core-temp (tray)..

The little function in core temp, that shows the acceleration of the temp, is that one i use the most..

wht care's, a couple of centigrades up or down, the core temps shift so fast anyway..

Only so i can see a rough estimation of the temp, i am happy

But i know, different readings from different progs..

depending on the update freq..

Keep it simple?

I've had similar quarion about two months ago (http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?11649-R3E-temperature-questions)... What I learned from that thread and subsequent readings is that you should run only one temp assessment software at a time! Somehow the sensors/infos are messed up between different softwares...

I guess, the best way would be if we could double check the temps given by software with a good non-contact thermometer...

If all four softwares (running only one at a time) telling you that temps are OK - then temps should be OK, no? 😄

Thanks Zka17, I'll do some reading L8R and post back.

Thanks grottslampan, that explained some to me about 4 progs ..
However, between the AI Suite II and RC TweakIt, thought its should use the same ways to measure, refresh and display the temp.
Knowing that under the H100, OC the CPU to 4.250 before and this system running with no issues. I'm not worry at all, just my curious.

Mm, i know..

If the truth is out there, you want it.....

The only issue that i think can struck, is if the pump go broke..

But then the pc will shut down, due to heat..

so there is not to worry....

i had the same issue but on the Crosshair v and found that the programs that give the true/ nearest to true temp are. asus ai suite 2 is pretty much on the mark but i didnt want to keep all the asus stuff installed.
aida x64,
cpuid hardware monitor(not open hw monitor)
amd overdrive
and as grottslampan says u can use coretemp if u work out the offset and adjust accordingly 😄

also if running ai suite with another program,say hw monitor then ai suite can start to give some false alerts.

One of the most accurate and comprehensive applications I have used is HWMonitor. It is remarkably accurate and has the smallest overhead of them all.

The thing to remember is this, if you have more than one application installed they will both be polling the sensors, this is where the problems can occur. You might end up with no correct readings at all.

To help us help you - please provide as much information about your system and the problem as possible.

Thanks HiVizMan,

After uninstall Intel Extreme Tunning and HWMonitor, Tempereture display from AI Suite II and ROG tweakIt are the same as before, no change. I'm not worry, just wonder why the 2 progs reading different.

CPU Temperature ... Which one is true ?
