Why does my speccy read 88C but the Ryzen one read 40C?

I used Speccy to monitor my computer and just yesterday replaced the motherboard, RAM and CPU.  I was not able to fully reinstall my closed system cooler because the spot on the motherboard didn't fit my fan and I'm still trying to find an adapter for it so using the heatsink that came with the AMD Ryzen 5.  My Speccy shows an average temp of 88C so downloaded the Ryzen Master and it shows a much more normal temp of about 37C.  Why is there such a big difference?

Because Speccy hasn't been updated in years, and is wrong, and Ryzen Master is right.

Do you have a suggestion for monitoring the other parts of my computer?  I hadn't realized how out of date Speccy was.

AIDA64 I know is correct, as well as HWMonitor, but before trusting either compare their temps as seen in Ryzen Master and your GPU manufacturer's software.
