Package Temp Discrepancy

Hi guys,

using HWinfo64 v8.14-5580 (licensed).
There's a pretty huge gap between what HWinfo64 is showing and what the Q-Code display is showing in terms of CPU Package temp.
The motherboard is an Asus Apex Encore (with the latest BIOS).
Right now HWinfo shows 73c for the CPU Package (ks enhanced) while the q-code temp reading is 63c

Any idea how can I fix this ?

Thanks in advance for any help,

If the temperature fluctuates quickly and each method reports a different type of temperature (maximum, average, from a different location) or sourced at a different time, it's normal to observe such difference. Best is to compare at stable levels. We also don't know what temperature source does ASUS use.
 
Which is the most reliable ?
I will consider the 2 on the left to be a little more accurate. At least the one on the CPU Enhanced section is usually polled straight from CPU.
The one on the right is from board sensor and as @Martin said its unclear how ASUS is doing it.
