Different temperatures displaying AI Suite 3


Recommended Posts

Hi,
I run a Asus Z87M-plus with a i7 4790k and I am not sure which AI Suite version to use.
According to ASUS product homepage (which has info from 2015) AI Suite version 1 can be downloaded.
However, there is now a version 3 of AI Suite 3 which I downloaded and it looks to be working fine. It has many more functions than version 1 and one thing I noticed is that the temperature differs.
When I use version 1, the CPU temperature that displays is 35 celcius degrees.
When I use version 3, the CPU temperature that displays is 32 celcius degrees.
Do you guys think that both versions are suitable for my CPU/Motherboard?
Can the reason why I get different temperatures for both versions be that the newer version has settings that make my CPU cooler?

The BIOS temps reported are accurate.

The software temps reported will always be off by the same number of degrees.

The component reports a resistance when the software asks for temps.  The component has a thermistor, but the software does not know if the thermistor range is 10k or 15k, thus the difference in reported value of temps.  The software converts the resistance to a temp.
