Quick question, I have Asus q code reading cpu temps but does it read package temps or average cpu temps? HW monitor is about 8 to 10 degrees difference. Stress testing reads 60 on q code and hw monitor reads 70 plus. Maximus x hero and i7 8700k 4.7 on all cores

How's the package temp compare to hw monitor? I'm pretty sure that's the package. I'd say whatever is the closest to what you're seeing in hw monitor

Im thinking package temps also.

I wish my Rog Strix had a readout. I miss that from my old msi board.

 

[Karl Allen]

this is a first for me, never had any toys with other boards.

 

[Donald Hixson]

Actually it may be the socket temp.

 

[Karl Allen]

ah now I really dont know hehe

 

[Donald Hixson]

My last board had a readout that went off socket temp.

You do not have permission to view link Log in or register now.

This also made me think it was the socket.

 

[Karl Allen]

kk, ive not crashed gaming or benching yet so temps must be within limits

 

[Donald Hixson]

Yeah, I've always went off package temps, you're definitely within check.
