My CPU described above reaches 111F When running a virus scan, and will be about 98F - 104F at idle.
If I am playing a game like Darksiders II, Call of Duty Black Ops II, or Resident Evil 6 my I see the temps between 120F - 131F. ( The temp spikes from idle temp to 120F in 1 minute and 131F within 5 minutes )

I have read many forums on here, and looked through many temp monitors. CPUID, HWinfo, PC Wizard, and HWM Blackbox. ( Also speedfan ) .. all of them show all four cores at idle to be 46F - 62F, and I have read that the tmpin0, tmpin1 are found on the bios will be easier to find out what they are. I cant get any temps from the bios at all, only fan speeds. ( looked for bios update and found none ).

I am thinking that the higher temps I am getting in "TMPIN0" belongs to the cpu as many tell me I should caution that one as its most likely the cpu. Grounding myself and touching the heatsink and it is a little warm after running a game, but I am also confused. HWM Blackbox shows that the temp showing for tmpin0 is the same as the chassis temp. ( that is with the side panel off ).

I really think I am getting odd readings.
Here is my PC specs and information and I will also tell you what I also know.
My case fan runs on High speed and even whistles really loud when cpu is working hard. Makes no sense.

Also I am only running 300w PSU and I know I want a higher Wattage cpu. I am told it will help, but also read it wont cause this overheat if any.
I also noticed that I am getting less heat by using dual Graphics with my APU+PCIe GPU. Shouldn't the GPU remove stress from the cpu by taking on some of those resources?

Just running a virus scan and my cpu temp rises quickly.
also the max temp for operating is 70 celsius. It's cutting it close isn't it?

I don't know about the fans but I guess you could always turn them down in the BIOS. Also, those readings you've seen on the forums are probably also in celsius since it's literally impossible to have temperatures like 46F - 62F in normal room temperatures.

That's not even close. High 60s would be close. You can't really expect more from the stock CPU cooler.

After about 5-10 minutes of running Darksiders II in 1024x768 res and windows I am getting these temps without even in the game. I am in the menu. (there is short animation on a loop )

TMPIN0 - 53c (127F)
TMPIN1 - 32c (89F)

AMD A6-3650
core1 - 44c (110F)
core2 - 44c (110F)
core3 - 44c (110F)
core4 - 44c (110F)

As I said, not bad at all for stock cooling.

The TMPIN0 generally is your motherboard's CPU socket's temperature and the core temps are from inside the CPU.

Okay well I guess I am a little paranoid. and I had no clue on what to tell what the TMPIN0 temp was coming from, and if that temp is coming from the motherboard than and its not something to worry about with it being that high than the sound from the fan ( whirring sound/whistle sound ) isnt something I need to go crazy over. I hope upping the psu to something way more than stock 300w and adding a good cooler will make things work much better. I am just used to this PC being really quiet. Once I added the Graphics card it began to get a little noisy after 3-4 months.

I have removed all the dust from fans, and there is only minimal dust on the heat sink. when looking at the heatsink for the cpu i can see the entire heatsink minus a a couple cm of dust on it. I can almost blow it off myself. Hardly anything.

The dust on fans or anything else is gone already. I just recently cleaned and applied new thermal compound too. about 3 days ago. Also I cannot change the fan speeds on the bios. The bios does not show me temps, nor does it offer any way to change fan speeds. I can only view them. Which makes no sense at all.

Seems like this thread has an answer already. All I can tell you is that try turning off your computer and letting it cool. That's my advice.

Well no problem there then... If the noise is coming from your GPU, download a program like MSI afterburner and make a custom fan profile.

I know which fan is making the noise. Its my case fan. ( fan screwed into the rear of my case and plugged into the system fan plug on the motherboard ) its the only fan the kicks up when I run a game or put resources to work.

Download speedfan or use the BIOS to adjust your fan speeds. This way the fan won't speed up even under stress.
