Real Temp or Core Temp

I have always used core temp up until about a few days ago because I thought that Core Temp was reading the temps wrong as I have a Zerotherm Nirvana, when I installed Real Temp the temperature difference is about 4-7 degrees. So my question is which is the most reliable, I have a E7200 overclocked @ 2.85ghz.

My question to you is, why haven't you OCed more? You should be at 4Ghz.


I don't know which is more reliable, naybe you should try some other software, Everest or Speedfan, that's what I use.

I am new to overclocking and I am fine with 2.85ghz.

Here is what speedfan shows,

EL OH EL


use speed fan or realtemp I use both and average out the temp

i use core temp and stay on the safe side because it always reads slightly higher

I use realtemp for my Intel rig and coretemp for my AMD one.


If realtemp worked on AMD cpu's, I would use that instead of coretemp as for me it shows more correct temps.

I use speedfan, checked temps with bios temps, seems right.
