To be sure i would use Everest or Core temp mate, i've have a few wrong readings from HWmonitor and it's always better to be safe than sorry.

 

The only problem I have had with HWMonitor is it does not read my 12V power correctly, has been this way for some time. As for vcore and processor temps, it has never let me down, reads the same as most other programs.

 

Works like a champ for me,but as stated check it against other apps just to be sure.

 

use the bios, any program is in accurate

Mhm? Idle temp's mean basically nothing, you can't run Prime95 in bios

The bios reads the temp at 50-60% load.

 

Yeah, i usually use it over CoreTemp but thats just my personal preference.

 

I like SpeedFan.

 

I like hwmonitor for voltages and fan RPMs, not temps, everest can do the same stuff and more and the temps tend to be more accurate and it usually has more voltages that hwmonitor doesnt show

the best for temps is realtemp or core temp, realtemp looks better but they both have almost the same readings

 

I rely on Everest, since Hw monitor is giving me different temperature values always.

 

I'm not sure about voltages, but temps are spot on (for CPU/HDDs/GPU).
