Please tell me these temps aren't correct.

I just put together my HTPC. I put an A10-6800K in it and originally had wanted to put the CoolerMaster Hyper 4 on it, but it wouldn't fit due to the corsair ram. So, I removed their thermal paste and used Antec's thermal paste while applying the stock cooler. Now, I'm looking at these temps and freaking out. I checked my bios and it was 60-70 degrees Celsius.

Just to clarify, I'm talking about the 70-90 (CPU Package) one.

anonymous, if you look, he is running an AMD, cant see the model but its clearly a quad core. most AMD multicore processors have a max operating temp of 70c. so if the package reading is his cpu temp, he indeed should be concerned and act swiftly. reapply you thermal paste and make sure its a proper application. If you were overclocking with the other cooler before reinstalling the stock one, remove the overclock as stock coolers are designed to cool CPUs running at stock speeds. if your BIOS is reading 70c degrees at any time that's a big red flag for an AMD CPUs. Some current Intel CPUs can have a max operating temp of 90-105c.

cpu pakage=the actual cpu itself ie the chips overall temp including the cores together. the temp should only be slightly higher than the average core temp

i have the same problem with my A10-5800K. so i downlock the processor to 3,2Ghz or 3,4Ghz (decrease the multiplier). the temp now 70C max at full load.
remember that HWmonitor doesn't read the real temp. use your motherboard software to read the temp.
