So my core temps currently show 13-14c at idle, which is obviously not true. So i looked into the reasoning behind the false reading and found amd fx cpus tend to not give accurate readings when idle and only show accurate readings at 40c+. im using an antec kuler 620 and havnt seen my temps go higher than 40c while playing games or running prime95, socket temps are around 52c, so im a bit confused? any help how accurate is it being under load?

yeah its a shame its taken me this long to learn this, i did used to have a amd phenom x4 955 with a stock cooler and i ended up purchasing the closed loop cooler because i though the temps were a little high, looking back with this new information i probably wasn't actually doing that bad, but regardless least this 8 core will be well cooled.
Thanks for the help.
