A8-3870k CPU vs CORE Temp

asdoll · Jun 11, 2014

Hi! my system specs:
CPU : A8-3870k
MB : ASRock A75M-HVS
Cooler : Gammaxx 300
Thermal Paste : DeepCool Z5
MEM : Doual Channel 2x2gb HyperX Blu 1600
O.C. : Gpu to 758 MHz, MEM to 1866 (932 MHz), Cool'n'Quiet Enabled, LLC 1/4

CPU Temp (HWMonitor)
Full load > CPUTIN 59c - Cores 45c - Gpu 44c
Idle > CPUTIN 38c - Cores 10c - Gpu 9c

AIDA64 shows the same result

Which temp should i notice it?
CPUTIN is higher than Core temp! Is it correct?

Thanks

AMD CPU temps are a bit hard to interpret, read this: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/faq/id-2122665/understanding-temperature-amd-cpus-apus.html

To be sure, read the temps in the BIOS so that actual temps can be figured out.

Thanks for answer
Bios shows the same as CPUTIN temp. I've lapped Gammaxx 300 with CPU and used a tiny bit of Z5, i expected 4 or 5 degree cooler than stock AMD cooler (idle 36 - full 55) and now i see hotter!
I want to O.C. base clock and cpu ratio so i have to disable Cool'n'Quiet ... with this state i guess a near 70c!
Is this temp value of A75M-HVS sensor near CPU?
Or is the cpu damaged or something else?!!!

Your temp of 59c is well within the limit and you should not be worried about it. Keep a tab on the temps. You should only be worried if temps started to cross 72 as your CPU's maximum operating temp is 72.7c.

Thanks in advance
Just question is why my cpu with Gammaxx 300 works hotter than stock AMD cooler!
Is there any way to check CPU health with software?

This is because Gammaxx 300 is not a very good of efficient air cooler as compared to others. Read the review and compare the results. Though on Intel Platform, but it will give you a good idea on its performance:

Yes, i read HardwareSecrets review of Gammaxx 300 then choose it, finally i found the problem, one of the heat pipes seems barred! (center heat pipe) unlike other 2 heat pipe it's always cool. I'm going to buy another cooler, Gammaxx S40 or Thermalright True-Spirit 120m.

Thanks

Better buy Noctua series cooler or Phantec. Otherwise consider buying H80/90.
