Hi friends,

I have posted few threads previously and as per recommendation I have installed a CPU cooler now (Hyper TX3 EVO, it fit nicely in my case). I'm using Cooler Master thermal paste that came along the CPU cooler. Some of that had spilled on edge of APU pins while trying to settle the CPU cooler (cleaned that properly, APU is working fine). I was trying to disperse that.

My configuration is:

APU: A8-6600K
Motherboard: ASUS A88XM-A
Case: Cooler Master K380
PSU: Corsair VS450

Readings:
HW monitor readings - http://prntscr.com/35rhrt After 5 minutes - http://prntscr.com/35rjjc
CoreTemp reading - http://prntscr.com/35rk64
SpeedFan reading - http://prntscr.com/35rlkc

HW monitor readings are highly fluctuating, here's one I took few seconds ago - http://prntscr.com/35rofa (others were taken 15 minutes ago).

Should I just ignore them and continue my work or is there a faulty component there? I work for 10 hours+ everyday and summer has just begun. I don't have an AC in my room and room temperature is expected to surge up to 40C by next month (it goes up to 30C as of now).

Please suggest.

Now try a fourth utility. OpenHardwareMonitor. post results from that and then we'll try to figure this out. I agree this is the most erratic readings that I've seen till date. The difference between TjMaxx reported by Coretemp and the core temperature reported by HWMonitor suggests that you might be okay and there can not be as big a difference between package and core temperatures as it is.

Turn any auto OC features that you may have enabled in the BIOS.

Hey, I just assembled this rig 2 days ago, didn't buy an optical drive, so copied the drivers on friend's PC today, going to check with that utility now.

Thanks for the response mate. Will install that now and post readings in a bit.

Wow..this seems to have solved nothing. Other than your temps, what actually caught my attention is that none of the software report your +12V Vrail holding it's voltage.

especially speedfan readout is pretty alarming although we do not know yet which to believe. Since a +/- 5% error is acceptable, you HWmonitor readouts for +12V rail remain within the limits. Still I am not very convinced about the psu.

I happen to have the same one and my voltage figures are all within the expected range.

I'll request a more experienced member to have a look. keep us posted.

Erman, are many people having this issue? I have not checked if this is some code optimization issue with these software but now i am beginning to incline towards that as the reason none of these readings are corroborating each other. Have you come across anything informative on this?

i have issued when i bought AMD A10-5800K with stock cooler, HW monitor read 105C when i ran prime95. that's very high right? than i buy xigmatek achilles cooler. after that the software read 77C at full load, even turbo boost is disable. the weird thing is when i touched the heatsink, it was not that hot. I used many programs for monitoring.
until now, i am really don't know the most accurate program for my processor temp read. sorry for my bad english :)

I am planning to add two more fans apart from stock fan that came pre-installed with K380.
