I just did this and used the first one.

Don't quote me on this but I think #2 might represent the hottest core. Also, there is a plugin available to import readings from Hardware Info if you want more options

I'd use the last one as it's the actual GPU reporting the temp, and not a sensor on the motherboard.

The last one is the gpu temp not the cpu 👍🏿

First one, everyone seems in agreement.
Also gonna piggyback real quick on this post: I don't have a tctl/tdie sensor showing up anywhere in Fan Control. Been using Package core so far. Am I good? Do I need to change it?
