I've not used core damage, so can't offer much. I do know that I get consistent readings with OCCT / Everest / Real Temp / EVGA E-Leet / HW monitor / BIOS - understanding that some of these use the same readings.


By the way - I have not abandoned my testing. Just been tied up with the build I have going on. Also, we are getting ready to pack stuff up to head back to Florida, so don't want to get too involved til I've got everything set up there.
