Need cpu temp monitor that works with Amd 750k

Solution
What Speccy shows it's on-die temperature and, as far as i know, it's calculated based on the temperature showed by BIOS, which i understood it's actualy measured inside the socket. At 77 degrees showed by Speccy, BIOS actualy shows ~45 degrees. I use HWMonitor and it shows a maximum of 74 degrees for the Package (the one that Speccy shows) and 44 degrees TMPIN0 which is the same as the CPU temperature showed in BIOS. I have a Zalman CNPS9700 NT heatsink (50-60% of the maximum RPM) with Arctic Silver 5 thermal compound and overclocked @ 3700MHz, but i have to keep my case open. I used my 750k with the stock heatsink for 1 year, still overclocked @ 3700, with the original thermal compound and it survived, not having even a single crash...

If not needed, you can ignore it... But that's a bit hot.

I suggest you check the Cooler/fan and the Termal Paste before it overheats. It tends to get hot and it isnt absurd either while running BF4.

I used my 750k with the stock heatsink for 1 year, still overclocked @ 3700, with the original thermal compound and it survived, not having even a single crash since i bought it. With the stock heatsink the temperatures showed were ~15 degrees higher than now. So, i guess that you should not be worried by those 77 degrees showed by Speccy :).
