Temp problem fx8320

Solution
Core temperature is a direct product of how fast you clock your processor, and how much voltage you feed into it to be able to do so. Lower your overclock, lower your temperature.
What guggi4 said: make sure you're reading the right temperatures. You want to be looking at the CPU Core temperatures.

CoreTemp and AMD Overdrive (if you have a Radeon GPU) generally pick up on that sensor the best, but you'll want to cross-reference with others.

It *should* be, and usually is, but cross-reference it with something else to be sure.

Core temps usually display sub-ambient temperature (sometimes 0C) at idle, but they will be more accurate at load.
