Hello everyone, this is the first time I've put together a AMD computer since the Athlon 64 and am a bit confused as to what I'm finding for temps for this budget computer. AMD's Overdrive is displaying some weird temps(idles at 15 degrees when the room temperature is about 20 and is using the stock fan) As well as being about 33 degrees while at 100% load. Meanwhile, when running HWMonitor, I'm coming up with 80 degrees while at 100% load. I'm not sure what I should look into as the real temperature? As I'm thinking of overclocking a bit.

You shouldn't overclock that CPU on the stock heatsink and fan anyway.
You will need to buy an aftermarket cooler for something like that.
