Windows 10: CPU temp differs between tools

Core Temp is reporting a stable 55 degrees Celsius, whereas my BIOS is reporting 75-80 degrees Celsius.


Should I be concerned here? I have not had any system crashes due to overheating or any freezes for that matter.


Thanks!

Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

Here's a quick laundry list:

List of software to use for overclocking and testing
Examples:
Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

CPU temp vs CPU Core temps?

Yeah, I figured the same thing, its about 63-65F in here right now, core temp somehow says 7c for core one, which is 45F*Confused I'm using everest. I'll try CoreTemp and get back.

CoreTemp gives me the same core temps as everest (7c core 1, and 12c core 2). I downloaded both the beta and previous version.

Oh yeah and the readme says:

"CPU Support list:

All AMD K8 CPUs are supported starting with the early SH-C0 stepping and up. The latest 65nm BH-G1 and DH-G1 revisions give inaccurate readings."

I've got the Brisbane with BH-G1 stepping. I guess that explains it, a little.

My friend has a 5200+ Windsor, it gives the same type of readings--lower cores than ambient. He also uses everest though.

 

difference in temp,

i get at normal, 49 and 56 in Distance to TJ Max, with temps at 51 and 44 respectively...
Calibrated i still get 49 and 56 at Distance to TJ Max with temps of 47 on both cores....
That is CPU running at 3Ghz with C1E disabled and Speed Step Disabled too.
