Question - What are these temps in HWMonitor and are they too high ? | Tom's Hardware Forum
February 25, 2025 - *Download HWinfo For temperature monitoring only, I feel Core Temp is the most accurate and also offers a quick visual reference for core speed, load and CPU voltage: *Download Core Temp ​Ryzen master for Zen or newer AMD CPUs, or Overdrive for older Pre-Ryzen platforms (AM3/AM3+/FM2/FM2+) For monitoring on AMD Ryzen and Threadripper platforms including Zen or newer architectures, it is recommended that you use Ryzen master if for no other reason than because any updates or changes to monitoring requirements are more likely to be implemented sooner, and properly, than with other monitoring utilities.

r/AMDHelp on Reddit: HWMonitor not reporting Ryzen CPU temps on new rig i built today, worried itll fry :/
February 13, 2020 -

Hey guys, so i just built my PC today (the full list of specs are listed below). After building i did the usual fresh installation of windows 10, followed by mobo, chispet, GPU, LAN drivers etc , everything all seems fine, even ran a "Userbenchmark test", and was given positive User Benchmark results

The problem i am having is that core temps arent showing in the HWMonitor application.. I have tried researching other cases, but have found no solutions, any idea why this could be? I see "Package(Node 0)" under the CPU section reporting temps but no core temps. "CPU temp" is also listed under the motherboard section, giving similar results to the "Package(Node 0) so im not sure which ones i should be using, whether its misreading, or not reading temps at all? Please look at the screenshot provided below of the temp readings. Im worried because after gaming for 40-60 mins the CPU temps under both motherboard and the Ryzen CPU section were reporting in the mid 80's, the graphic card was find surprisingly only 60 degrees even though the game was being ran maxed out, so i dont think its the airflow of the case. Any ideas?

HWMontior RESULTS (idle after gaming , wheres the core temps??)

  • CPU: Ryzen 3600

  • Motherboard: MSI Tomahawk B450 MAX

As the titles summs, which of those is the best for temps monitoring? Have used HWinfo before clean installing W10 and cleaning CMOS (had a bunch of errors because a I switched from 1600 AF + B450M DS3H to 5600X + B550-F Gaming (Wi-Fi), and the software always showed my clocks as 4.6GHx ot 3.2GHz, so I gave it up, but I don't really know if it was a bug from the hardware switch, so I'm asking here now, which one is better? Will not use Ryzen Master, MSI Afterburner or lowkeys software, I rather stick with one of those.
