Hi Folks,

I had a quick question about CPU/GPU temperature monitoring and wanted to check what you all trust more.

I’ve been using Lenovo Legion Toolkit lately, and I noticed the CPU temperature readings seem to jump around a lot while gaming.

For example:

  • Legion Toolkit shows around 97°C
  • MSI Afterburner shows around 76°C at the same time

That’s a pretty big difference, so now I’m confused about which reading is actually accurate.

Has anyone else noticed this? Which tool should I rely on for real CPU/GPU temps while gaming?
