Hey. I have a rathejr new CPU, an athlon II x4 760k ( an a10-6800k without GPU) and HW monitor doesnt show me the individual core temperatures, just a package temperature. is there any reliable programs for Richland CPU/APu's that read the temperature of all cores, not jsut the package.

Many thanks

Firstly welcome to the APU family.

Secondly HWMonitor has compatibility issues with AMD parts and requires at times editing to enable it to function, I would rather look at HWInfo64 or Aida64 Extreme Edition for monitoring software.

Lastly software monitoring is not accurate its good enough to a point but if its relied on for say overclocking then its wholly inadequate to base upon.

Ok thanks. i have tried HWinfo64 and that says 9 degrees celcius and aida64 sayd 22, when my ambient is 24 -_-. can i just use a normal thermometer that i stick near the cpu to tell temp? seems all programs are really unreliable for the richland chips :p

Try cycling through the updates as they may fix the issue, you can also use the motherboard vendors inhouse software or you can do it the physical way.

If not found on the CD it might also be available in the Download section of the Gigabyte website for your specific board. Probably look in the Software or Tools subsection, could also be among the Drivers section.

In the meantime, a more reliable place to monitor your temps is directly from the BIOS. Of course it's not convenient because you need to reboot, but it's better than nothing and the numbers there should be more accurate. What I would do is work with the computer for a while so that it gets hotter, then reboot and enter BIOS and check temps immediately, this should give you realistic temps in the meantime you try to find a more reliable software in Windows.

Your temps will get hotter in the BIOS as PWN setting only load up with the OS, this is often why in BIOS your system is quieter despite Full settings for fans selected, then when the OS loads your fans crank up to full speed and the noise begins.

MC_k7 i have read them form the bios but i cant measure the full load temp from there. this is rather annoying as i have an overclock ready chip but dont know if my overclock is damaging the cpu as i cant reliably tell the temperature. Oh and i check the temp in Easytune6 and it tells me 22 at full load, again lower than my ambient temperature :/
