Hello everyone and thank you for taking the time to read my post.
I just finished assembling my friends computer and everything seemed to go well including the installation of his Hyper 212 EVO cooler on 760K Richland X4 3.8ghz processor. However, after installing several programs, HWMONITOR PRO has him at over 55-65 degrees Celsius on all cores. Core temp is unable to read the CPU temp and lists it as 0 degrees. Real temp has him at 14-18 degrees Celsius. Luckily the motherboard software (MSI Control Center) lists all his temps to be a more reasonable 30-40 degrees Celsius. All of these temps were recorded at IDLE. I will post screenshots shortly. Should I simply ignore the high temps on other programs and only follow MSI Control Center? Perhaps it has to do with the CPU fan connector and where I placed it on the motherboard?
Sorry to ramble, thanks so much for your help.
