Hello, I have one general question, and one specific one. (I understand it may not be possible to provide good answers, especially for specific question. No worries.)
1. General. Although the first few posts are highly informative and useful, they are around 9 or 10 years ago. Do you know if the inaccuracy variations are still similar or has it improved? (The same as first post but for 2022).
2. Specific. I run an OCed i9-9900ks at 5.1GHz which I managed to stabalize. Using Hwinfo 64vs 7.30. So I use CPU package, as if memory serves, that is the best one for core temps. Still correct on Intel?
Additionally I have customized my lay out and under, CPU Package, I have CPU IA Cores. They are very consistent in what they report as written below.
At idle IA core is 1 c degree cooler, but when running hot they are both the same. Today idle temps are 33c package, 32c IA cores.) Not so important, but at higher temps anything over 70 approx they match exactly almost 100% of the time. I think I know the answer but I am no expert and don't want to make this post too long. (Also I tend to get things wrong, ahem.)
So, I am asking Martin or any other person who knows well what your thoughts, or better facts about these two temps. I am wondering if it's the same sensor being used (AsRock z390 Phantom gaming 9, with Intel i9 9900ks) with one of them direct from the CPU and the other via Motherboard? See, that's probably silly or obvious to you guys, but I am curious and not really sure. Hence not writing out my whole likely flawed idea.
I'll leave it at that, it's not a big deal because as mentioned when checking even moderate loads they are the same. It's more curiosity....., or is my mobo about to catch fire, or my CPU explode? Just a slight exaggeration there to clarify my question.
Thanks to anyone who replies.
Also want to say I love HWinfo and have been using it for well over 10 years now. Great software. With so many variables between manufacturers etc it's quite something that that so much information is provided. Great stuff!!
