When monitoring temps

[roguerower]

Do you go off the CPU Temp or the Core Temps. Usually on my 8400 the core temps are a good 5 degrees higher than the CPU temp. Is there a better program for monitoring temps? I run it stock but later I might OC and want to know what program to use.

Use Coretemp's delta to Tjunction Max and maintain a 10-15-20°C buffer (1°C from Tjunction Max is theoretically enough, but the other stuff is just user discretion..just like how much to bump the vcore).
