Hover over the sensor name and it will tell you some info as to what it represents. You do not see them, but there are a lot more temperature sensors in the CPU than is exposed. (Tctl/Tdie) is what the CPU reports for fan speed control. The Die average is pretty much what it says, an average over time of the CPU temperature. CCD1 (and CCD2 when applicable) are the temperatures of the chiplets. I am not sure whether they are an average of the highest temperature across the chiplet, but it is also not a single sensor as far as I am aware. You also have temperatures per core, temperatures for the L3 cache and temperatures for the I/O die which is among other things responsible for communicating with memory. All have meaning and you will likely notice that they will not always agree with each other. That's fine, they represent different things. As long as your temps are below throttling temperatures, you don't have to worry to much about it. Answer from Elianor_tijo on reddit.com

Which CPU temp should i watch? | HWiNFO® Forum
March 30, 2020 - I have a AMD RYZEN 5 3600, im just a bit worried about my temps as sometimes it can jump to 60c idle, which one do i follow, tctl/tdie, avg, or tdie thanks ... Ryzen3000 has more than 50 temp sensors around the core Die (CCD). CPU (Tctl/Tdie) is the hotspot of the CPU and its switching (a few hundred times within a sec) between all sensors and report constantly the highest one.

Which sensor monitorate for CPU & MotherBoard temperature | HWiNFO® Forum
January 27, 2021 - For CPU it's best to rely on the "CPU Package" value, this comes straight from the internal CPU sensor. For Mainboard I'm not sure if this system is capable of monitoring this value and we don't have dedicated sensor support for this "special" mainboard, it's not a common one. The "Motherboard" temperature is certainly wrong, most likely a not connected sensor.

How to Check CPU Temperature and Why Is It Important? | Kooling Monster
January 3, 2026 - You can check the CPU temperature in the BIOS settings (or UEFI after Windows 10), but this method doesn’t provide much value as we don’t have access to the BIOS when we play video games. So 3rd party monitoring software is more useful. There are many monitoring programs, such as HWiNFO, Core Temp, NZXT's CAM, and many others.

9800x3d - What Temperature to Monitor? | HWiNFO® Forum
January 3, 2025 - Critical (shutdown) temp should be at around 115-118C for Zen4/5. While the 95C operating limit is considered perfectly fine you can always specify your own limit in BIOS. For example my Zen3 CPU has a default limit of 90C but I've set it to 85C, even tho it never reaches it, let alone the 90C.

October 23, 2021 - Real Temp and Core Temp are quite similar to each other because both have one reliable feature that is to monitor CPU temperature. Real temp can also show you the temperature of each individual core. This PC temp monitor comes great in handy if you have an intel processor.

Confusion between CPU temp readings | HWiNFO® Forum
August 6, 2020 - Temperatures can fluctuate very rapidly (within milliseconds) and the cooling takes some time to kick-in. The CPU (Tctl/Tdie) value is the instant highest temperature among all sensors in the CPU, while the others are filtered and averaged (over a short period) values of certain areas in the CPU (most likely excluding the IOD).
