I have been using MSI Afterburner for a long time to monitor temperatures while gaming. I noticed that the CPU temperature data provider can be changed in the MSI Afterburner settings. So I have always used the internal option, and now that I changed it to HWInfo, the CPU temperature while gaming was a little lower than before. How is this possible? Which one shows the correct CPU temperature, internal or HWinfo?
 
HWiNFO of course. Have a read of numerous posts on this forum or read the tooltips in HWiNFO.
