Sanz_ Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Which temperatures should I be more concerned about? The CPU Package + core temps or the "CPU" temperature? the CPU temperature is always lower than the CPU package and core temps........ But one thing I noticed with the CPU Package temperature, is that it's always the same as Core #1 temperature. Is this right? My motherboard is Asus Maximus V Gene and the processor I'm using is the i5 3570k..no overclock as of yet. Also, I've noticed that Aida64 is showing signicantly slower fan RPM's compared to the Asus AI suite II Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 On Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge processors CPU Package + the core temperatures are usually more accurate than the "CPU" temperature, so you can simply ignore the "CPU" temperature. CPU Package and core temperatures are both read directly from the processor, so it is normal if there's some matching in there As for fan RPMs, please create a screen shot that shows AIDA64 Computer / Sensor page and AI Suite fan RPM readings side-by-side, so we could compare the output. Thanks, Fiery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanz_ Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 I had a closer look and it looks like Aida64 is reading the CHA_Fan1 and the CPU_FAn header the wrong way round. I have confirmed that I have my fans plugged in the correct headers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I think you use an old version of AIDA64 Make sure to upgrade to the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme Edition available at: http://www.aida64.co...50z5qmwvn6bfzip After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade. It will display more voltage readings too Let me know if it helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wised Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Hello and sorry for reopening this thread... It seems i have quite the same problem here but with diff values. Here, i have 50c "CPU" temp and around 33c "cores" and "cpu package" temps. Image will help more. Is there a way to solve this "issue"?

Fiery Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 All readings look fine and accurate on your motherboard. If you believe "CPU" reading is too high, then just ignore it, and focus on CPU Package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wised Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Yeah thank you for fast response. But i am curious tho... what is that CPU anyway? Maybe i would add some more coolers in the airflow to minimize that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 It is one of the 3 temperatures your motherboard sensor chip measures. You may want to compare the measured values against ASRock F-Stream Tuning Utility, but I'm sure both Motherboard and CPU temperatures will match between AIDA64 and FSTU.

Hotbird64 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 On my system (X79 chipset with Xeon E5-1650v2), CPU Package Temp is the temperature of the hottest core. However, AIDA64 doesn't display it correctly. It always shows exatly 5°C above the hottest core. Most likely cause is that it uses a constant of 100 °C instead of Tjmax which is 95 °C on my CPU. Most other tools (e.g. Intel Xtreme overclocking tool) display this correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 CPU Package temperature is read directly from the CPU, without having to take TJMax into account. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotbird64 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 CPU Package temperature is read directly from the CPU, without having to take TJMax into account. Thanks for the info. I just wonder why AIDA64 displays exactly 5°C more than all those other utilities (e.g. coretemp, Intel Xtreme overclocking utility, ...). It's no big deal thanks to the superb correction feature in AIDA64. I'll do my own research by reading out the MSRs. Doesn't make much sense if you don't have my exact system.

Fiery Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 FYI, on Sandy Bridge-E/EN/EP and Ivy Bridge-E/EN/EP/EX processors CPU package temperature is read from PCI registers, not from MSR registers. On mainstream Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge and Haswell processors CPU package temperature is read from MMIO (memory mapped) registers, not from MSR registers.

Serpens2357 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 hey! mine CPU Package (i7-6700k with corsair h75) temperature higher than, the CPU and the cores temps. i have read a lot of comments above there, so in aida really matters just the package temps?

Fiery Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Make sure to watch both the core temperatures and CPU Package temperature. Whichever is the highest, that one should matter the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

... Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Sorry to bring up this topic again, but I seem to the opposite issue of the "CPU" temperature being much higher than other readings. Anyone have a clue why and/or what it means? System Details: * Intel Core i7 7820X (at motherboard's default clocks/voltages) * Arctic Liquid Freezer 240 CPU cooler * MSI X299M Gaming Carbon AC motherboard * AIDA64 Extreme v5.92.4300 This happens whilst running a stress test: and of the main window: Am curious that the difference between the highest and lowest temperatures is over 30C! If I let the system stay idle for a while after a stress test, this is what I get: Thanks for any responses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
