H80i Temp 1 Question

[CrayonMuncher]

Hi,

I am just wondering what is more accurate, the cpu temp in hwmonitor or the H80i temp sensor on the cpu block, I am inclined to say the latter but im not sure.

I only ask as it is about 10c lower than hwmonitor, and I dont want to burn out my cpu.

Thanks.

I'd trust the CPU's temp sensor over any external ones.

What even though its a thermsistor that is situated directly on top the chip?

You mean a sensor in the cooler itself? I'd trust HWmonitor if that's the kind of sensor that you mean.
