what is the difference in temp on your cpu vs cpu diode ? i have an 11c difference at any givin time under load . and any hours of use. i believe the bigger the difference the better ur cooling solution is.

The diode is only in close proximity to the CPU, so it's the external CPU temperature.
I don't think this is always more precise. It is usually more reliable but not always.
I checked my sensors and there was only one additional sensor that I can activate.
But the default choice was not to use this sensor and the program advises to stay with the defaults unless you know what you are doing.
I have not often seen such good temperatures. My previous CPU in a different case reached 59° under load and it had sufficient cooling.
These are my temperatures when only the browser is open and when the system is almost idle.

The DeepCool AG500BK ARGB came with a small bag containing thermal grease.
But I didn't want toxic materials on the kitchen scissors so I used my more than 15 year old Xilence Silver Tim tube and it still seems to do its job after all these years.
