in the hwmonitor its the package in the AMD FX-8320..is that the core?
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.
what should i do to lower core temp?..do i need to change something in bios to help lower core temp?..
