AMD A8 4500m Temperature reading issues

Wetzel267 · Oct 15, 2013

Hey! I just bought a ASUS k55n BH81

Specs:
AMD a8 4500m with Radeon 7640g
8 gigs of RAM
750gig hdd at 5400RPM

I was curious to see what temperatures i was running at so i installed hwmonitor which reported my temperatures to be anywhere from 100-110C which i knew was not correct. I looked up the issue online and someone else had the same issue so he installed Core Temp 1.0. This gave him a correct reading.

I installed core temp and attempted to get a reading but my CPU was showing temps at 0C which is obviously not correct.

I've heard this issue is very common with AMD Trinity series so i'm just wondering how i can get a accurate reading.

Thanks!

Someone with similar issue - http://www.overclock.net/t/1348060/a8-4500m-maxing-out-at-106-degrees-c-cause-for-concern/10

A few people recommended he RMA it right away.
As for the temp reading 0 I'm not sure but if I turn on my advanced clock calibration my readings go to 0. Maybe there is a BIOS option similar to the Phenom II X6 1090T's problem causing the issue. To get readings I just disabled ACC.

I would RMA it for sure but from google searching all over the place it seems that AMD CPU''s don't read right on hwmonitor. The computer is not hot and almost cold in some places. The air blowing out on the side is warm, but not hot.

Wetzel267 :

To be honest unless you can start to get readings I would consider RMA replacement to a different model, unless you can confirm operating temperatures you are dealing with a possible heat damaged laptop or soon to be. My mate has an early model of the AMD dualcore laptop's and that also had a shakey start to do with temperatures and getting accurate readings, within 2 years it begain to suffer minor heat damage effects from gaming (random errors occuring as if it were or similar to an extremely overclocked system with errors, yet it is not.

Please look into specific BIOS options that may stop temp core readings.

After looking at a few programs i finally found a program that is reporting CPU temps that seem to be more believable.

Aida64 is reporting 45-50C temps at idle. From a quick run of Minecraft, i was pulling about 60-65C.

Does that seem more believable for a ASUS AMD laptop?

Also, from a quick google search it appears that ASUS mobos rarely read right.
