hwmonitor and coretemp is good for intel, but amd overdrive is specialy made for amd cpus and must be best for AMD cpus

How do you know it is more accurate?

Have you measured your temperature sensors with an infrared thermometer?

I guess I'm just lucky but hwmonitor, coretemp and overdrive all show the same temps on my 840 for the 4 cores. But hwmonitor also provides other temps like the VRM and GPU.

I prefer Coretemp with a 13C+ offset, it's about 1 degree higher than the Socket Tempature then thumb.gif
