I just replaced my mobo and cpu and I opened HWMonitor to check my temps and its showing my old hardware while CPU-Z is showing the right one (Picture showing my system info along side HWMonitor and CPU-Z)

I tried to reinstall HWMonitor but its still showing the old hardware.

Fixed it. If you click "tools" then "open user folder' and delete the file thats in there named "hwmprow.ini" and than restart hwmonitor it will make a new save of the new hardware
I don't use hwmonitor, im sure if there's a refresh option. Or reinstall it.

Give HWinfo64 a go. It's said to be more accurate with sensors.
 


I tried to reinstall but didnt work and theres a reload button that didnt do anything either. will look into hwinfo64. I just wanted a program for my temps and ive always used hwmonitor

Ill probably switch over to hwinfo64. it has alot more and its very neatly made and easy to use. tnx for the recommendation.
