Best Stat Monitor

Hello everyone. I watched to reach out and see what everyones opinion is on the best stat monitor for the 15" Retina MacBook Pro. I mainly am concerned while I am gaming. SMC Fan Control says my CPU hovers around 85-90 celsius with fans around 5k - 6k which is acceptable for this type of performance at Retina Resolution. I just downloaded iStat Pro (widget) which is reporting temperature 15 degrees celsius lower than SMC fan control which is considerably lower than what SMC Fan Control is reporting. So my question is, which app is correct? Is there a more detailed/accurate application out there that will give you specific temps? Please give any advice possible. Thanks!

Fair enough! I will go ahead and purchase then! It seems like its reporting accurate temps in comparison with 2 different programs. SMC Fan Control reports 1 CPU temp and iStat Menus is also reporting the same temperature, so thats a good sign. The iStat Pro Widget also reports GPU and GPU Diode temps, which iStat Menus matches up with that as well. So it does appear to match everything correctly. Thanks again!
