Hi i have recently got a new computer, it used the A8 6600k with integrated 8570d graphics, now i have been using HWmonitor to measure the temps of the cpu, when idle it read like 45 degrees and when running a game it got up to about 72 degrees, the max temp was meant to be 74 degrees, so i thought this wasn't correct.
I read on another forum that AMD overdrive is better for temps with this CPU as HWmonitor is inaccurate for it. AMD overdrive says that my CPU is at about 10-15 degrees when idle and about 45 - 55 degrees when a game is running, would overdrive be the correct one? I don't want to trust overdrive and fry my CPU, thanks in advance
