Inaccurate temps on RC TweakIt

zNelson24

I've used Core Temp and HWMonitor to monitor my CPU temps, and tried using RC TweakIt on my laptop to read my CPU temps without using my PC's resources when stress testing. I've noticed that RC TweakIt severely under reports temperatures. While the readers on my desktop have been getting temps of 60C on Prime95, RC TweakIt reports in the 40s, 30s when idle. Is there anyway to remedy the issue?

My mobo is a Maximus IV Extreme-Z, using RC TweakIT version 1.04.14.

Are you running them at the same time? This can contribute to incorrect readings.
A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station…

I've ran Core Temp and HWMonitor side by side before, but not with RC TweakIt.

Even the Sensors display in AI Suite disagrees with ROG Connect by about 5 degrees on my board 😞

HWM alone, or Coretemp alone have my vote.

never run two sensing applications at the same time can cause problems. 99% of the time.
To help us help you - please provide as much information about your system and the problem as possible.

Agree, anything but coretemp is pretty useless. Still this indicates that Asus has some bugs to fix.
