Hey all,
So I installed my new FX8350 processor today (motherboard is the ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0, for reference). Although I am using the stock fan (temporarily - I've ordered a Hyper 212 Evo after hearing how loud it got, but got to sit tight until it arrives...), I did clean off the standard paste it came with and replaced it with Arctic Silver 5.
So, the problem. CoreTemp is giving me some frankly insane temperature readings - dipping as low as 8 Celsius and jumping about all over the place, from 30 to 10 within a matter of seconds. I'm wary of pushing the processor at all just now - partly, I'm ridiculously overcautious and partly because I have no idea what temperature the damn thing is actually idling at?
I'm getting 35 celsius as the CPU Temperature from the motherboard sensor, but... I don't know. Should I be concerned, or just push ahead and see what temperatures it hits?
Thanks in advance for anyone who can help out!
