I’ve searched online, there’s some old info but a lots changed since. I cannot find a solid/straight answer to this question.

What is the most accurate CPU temp reading to monitor on HWiNFO64? Specifically with Ryzen?

Tctl/Tdie?

Die (average)?

CCD1 (Tdie)?

Which CPU package should I monitor when I want to know the CPU temp? The second one is always hotter than the first one. MSI Afterburner and Intel Extreme Tuning Utility apps seem to show values that are somewhat in between. I was going to be testing some games and wanted to be sure that the CPU is not too hot. Or should I just look at the CPU temp of the MSI Afterburner overlay in-game?

Is it the CPU (Tctl/Tdie), CPU Die (average) or the CPU CCD1 (Tdie)?

So I recently rebuilt part of my pc due to the cpu having an issue. I've gotten it up and working and installed a few hardware monitors to monitor temp (as I believe that is what was caused the previous cpu to fail).

Now I'm noticing the cpu temp spike on occasion, but not when one would typically expect. It seems to happen a lot when idle/downloading and installing something, but stays relatively consistent when playing games (and rarely spikes above 80, even in higher end games like cyberpunk). Also it seems to spike a bit when initially launching the pc then settles back down. These random spikes when idle are anywhere from 50c to 71c.

I typically use HWINFO to watch my temps, but have always been unsure what temps to specifically clock. Any thoughts on which temps I should pay attention to and what may be causing these spikes?

Hardware:

Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming B550-Plus WIFI-II

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900x

After market CPU cooler: Noctua NH-U125 chromax, Black, 120mm Single Tower

What gpu and cpu temps should I be monitoring in hwinfo? and also there are like 3 different "CPU Package" temps, which cpu package temp should I be looking at? I have them under i9-12900k DTS ( Digital Thermal Sensor), i9-12900k Enhanced, and then another cpu package temp under my mb ROG Strix Z690 (Nuvoton NCT6798D). A bit confused after lookin at that.

Hey all - I installed HWInfo64 and am trying to figure out what the most relevant field is to monitor my CPU temp. I've read a few posts with some conflicting information...

For my R7-5800h, I'm assuming that "Core Temperatures" represents the average temps across all my cores. I've also read that using the readout for "CPU (Tctl/tdie)" is a more accurate measure, or just using the "Core0" readings.

Appreciate any guidance on which I should be directly focused on!

In hwinfo which cpu temp is important to watch. Core temp or cpu package temp? CPU package temp is always a bit higher than core temp so im wondering what I should look out for

I'm new to HWinfo as I just recently downloaded it. Im confused on which sensor tells the actual CPU temp, so which one really is it?

Thanks in advanced

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to figure out which CPU temperature reading is accurate. I've been using both MSI Control Center and HWInfo64, but I'm getting different temperatures from each of them.

MSI Control Center shows [47 °C], while HWInfo64 shows [37 °C].

Has anyone else experienced this discrepancy? Which one should I trust, and are there any other tools I should be using to verify the correct CPU temperature?

Thanks in advance!

I am getting a ton of mixed answers on what sensor to be looking at for hwinfo64 for cpu temps. there is cpu(tctl/Tdie), cpu Die(average), CPU CCD1(Tdie) and core temps. a lot of people say look at tctl/tdie, others say look at CCD1. So, what would show the actual cpu temp? All of my software pulls from tctl/tdie. That value on average I get is in the high 40's low 50c, however the Die average, CCD1 and core temps record lower temps. I have been worried my idle temps are a bit high but seeing my CCD1 and core temps being at 39c makes me feel a bit better. So what would be the true value to look at?

I have an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D that I got in September. Most of my games are more GPU-reliant than CPU-reliant, but if I'm playing a more CPU-intensive game the fans spin up loudly and the temps spike to around 80C according to the HWinfo OSD, which I have set to display the "CPU Die (average)" temp.

However, when I look at the full list of HWinfo sensors, next to "CPU Die (average)" I see a max temp of 94.8, even though I don't see it get that high on the OSD while gaming. I also see lower max temps in some of the cores. Now, I understand there isn't just one CPU temp and all of these are valid data points, but I'm having trouble interpreting them, even when viewing the tooltips. For example, are "CPU IO Die" sensors measuring different temps than "CPU Die" sensors? Is that why CPU IOD Hotspot is reporting a max temp of only 70.8? How do I make sense of all this data?

In this screenshot of HWInfo which of these is my CPU temp? The temperature listed under MSI>Temperatures>CPU is much lower than the ones listed under the Ryzen 5600>Temperatures list. Which is better/more accurate to determine my CPU temp

Hello.

I have recently upgraded to a 7800x3d and Asus crosshair X670e hero from an intel platform.

I am monitoring temperatures using HWINFO, however, for CPU temps, I am seeing a bunch of readings and I am confused on which one to rely upon.

As of writing this, Eve Online (8 clients) is running in the background, along with some other apps.

There are category of temperatures for CPU that I can see and screenshots are below:

https://prnt.sc/AdUckyv-o9py and https://prnt.sc/qjCu5cK3gx0A

Please note that the motherboard LED displays the temperature corresponding to the entry "CPU" in the second screenshot. In addition, there are readings in the first screenshot corresponding to CPU, CPU die and CPU CCD1.

Further, previously on the intel platform, the entry to watch was "CPU Package".

So, to configure my pump and fan curves, which of these entries should I rely upon? Alternatively, which is the temperature to watch to ensure that the CPU is not running too hot?

Any clarifications/explanations would be highly appreciated.
