O.k so the title of this thread gives you the main jist of things, I have an AMD A-8 3870k based system that had been upgraded with a dedicated card (PowerColor AMD Radeon HD 6870) that had problems with black screening and crashing a lot so I took it out and re packaged sent it etc. But this is where the problem is I thought I could just use the IG on the APU and I could and I got to overclocking the integrated GPU back to where I know it was stable from when I had only the integrated GPU and it was working fine then I bought a CoolerMaster Hyper 412s (would recommend very quiet) and got some better overclocks out of it abd I looked at the temps and they arpund the negative 3 deg C mark on idle in a room that's kept about 20 deg C and I know you can't use air to create temps lower than the ambient and I was wondering is the APU telling delta temps and should I return it for a new one from the E-Tailer? Any replies or suggestions would be highly welcomed!

AMD has a tendency to display inaccurate temps under 40c. Nothing to worry about, that just means your computer is nice and cool.

Thanks really appreciate it and I wasn't to worried about temps because it's winter now and it's rather mild here in Wales!
