unixwizzard Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I recently upgraded to the AMD R7 2700X CPU and it seems that Speccy Pro 1.32.740 is reading the CPU temp at 60C higher. Confirmed this against AMD Ryzen Master, Core Temp 1.12.1, and HWInfo, all three show the CPU temp running 60C lower. This is a new Windows 10 install, ver 1803, with all updates/drivers applied. I just noticed the program is reporting the CPU as Summit Ridge when it's a Pinnacle Ridge chip. Here's a comparison: Not sure if it will help, I've attached a Register dump from Core Temp.

Moderators mta Posted June 10, 2018 Moderators Share Posted June 10, 2018 sadly, it's a long standing problem of Speccy - reporting wrong temperatures. it has been brought to the attention of the Admin team. Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.

JLT Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 My apologies for replying to an old topic but has this ever been resolved? I've relied on Speccy for many years for my temperatures but it's recently been reporting 55C+ when idle on my CPU and this concerned me. I noticed that some tech YouTubers use HWMonitor PRO so I downloaded HWMonitor (not the PRO) and I can confirm that the GPU and Storage devices report the correct temperatures but the CPU isn't quite right. Speccy at the current moment is reporting a very consistent 57C on all 8 cores of my Ryzen 7 1800x CPU but HWMonitor is reporting a 37 to 46.

Moderators mta Posted January 11, 2019 Moderators Share Posted January 11, 2019 resolved? - nope. what was a long standing 2'ish year old issue back in June is now a 2.5'ish year old issue.

lostindeadspace Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I’m haveing the same issue. I just built a new rig with the Ryzen 7 2700x and bios says everything is under 50 degrees C but in speccy it says my cpu temp is 104-113 degrees C and it freaked me out a little till I saw other people having this issue as well.

sneeewwitje101 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I am having this issue too. (Ryzen 7 2700 ) Speccy reports 87 C but MSI comnmand cenrtre and the BIOS report 38 C. Had the same freaking out experience as Lostindeadspace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostatsea Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 @mta I bought a Ryzen 2700x today and installed it. I panicked when I saw the temperature readings on the first boot until checking the temp with the bios and then CoreTemp. (note: beware of bundled apps when installing CoreTemp) However, I figured out the issue. It's displaying the correct number of degrees, but it's displaying C when it should be F. Run Speccy and CoreTemp side by side but in the CoreTemp settings check "Display temperatures in Fahrenheit". You'll see the numbers are the same even if the unit of measurement is grossly incorrect.

Ioannis Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I have the same issue, new ryzen 2700x build, properly applied thermal paste (more than enough), high end cpu air cooler (Dark Rock Pro 4) and I get 90-120 C while in Msi Bios it says 32-38 C. I also had the same problem with my older cpu (A8 6600k) and also the vram of my Gtx 1060 6gb is shown as 2048mbs. I hope they fix this problems.

Moderators Andavari Posted October 22, 2019 Moderators Share Posted October 22, 2019 Even if they released a fix it would eventually get out of date relatively soon because of new hardware, and BIOS updates. it's the kind of tool that needs continual updates.

BobPizz Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 I'm glad I knew speccy was displaying incorrectly before I spent 80 bucks on a new, heavy duty heatsink ... Oh wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodTheAutomaton Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Same issue here with Speccy version 1.32.740 on Windows 10, running Ryzen 7 2700X with Gigabyte X470 AORUS GAMING 7. This setup is not even a year old. 3 other temperature gauges reporting half of what Speccy gives. Good to know I didn't put too little thermal paste or have a crappy fan.

Zombie Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Just upgraded Speccy today, and haven't used it in awhile. It's showing my recently acquired AMD Ryzen 5 2600's temp as 105°C, but MSI is showing 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Pluta Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Speccy is showing Fahrenheit temperatures, but identifying them as Celsius. 40°C is 104°F. I recommend Coretemp, it uses the sensors inside each core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickSulli_ Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 The exact same thing has happened to me on my new system, I was selling my graphics card, the guy asked me to install speccy so he could check that it was the right on and I was shocked to see my cpu readings at 105c after finishing an r6 siege benchmark so I opened core temp to check and that reported a max of 59c.

SAD Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) Its NOT Fahrenheit. When i get a true temp of 43C Speccy shows 107C degrees and after switching to Fahrenheit i get something like 226F (Ryzen 7 2700X). I had a similar Problem on my AMD A8 6600K before. I would bet this affects only AMD and Intel is paying for it as usual. Intel style marketing. Edited May 4, 2020 by SAD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speccy is apparently a bit crappy on the CPU temperature reading. All other temperature readings are ok. In my BIOS it reads about 40C. Seems to be a combo of Speccy and the Ryzen 7 2700X ??

Digital Trucker Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Looks like this issue still hasn't been solved. AMD Ryzen 7 2700x here as is the case with many of those here. It's a little difficult to believe that every other piece of monitoring software I've tried gets a CPU temp value that is at least very close to what the BIOS shows but the developers of this piece of software can't fix the problem after roughly four years.

If you convert the speccy number to celcius you get the corect value, so speccy is definitley showing farenhiet temps with celcius units, however when changing speccy to farenheit units temperatures rise accordingly, suggesting speccy is reading farenheit as celcius and then "converting" that to farenheight if you ask speccy to chnage units.
