strange apu readings

Taylor Trotter · Jul 19, 2014

my apu is showing the igp is running at 150f, when i cant find a drop of heat on the chip, it also commonly reads above 200f, which would have shut my board off instantly XD

amd a10-7850k, running @ 3.70Ghz.

You got some serious cooling issues, if you are using your stock cooler its rockbottom fucking terrible and these are expected temperatures. Also the ribs between individual cooling elements are extremely close together so just after a few months it can get completely clogged with dust... its a nightmare!

What you need to do is shut down all overclocks immediately if you have any, and reinstall the cooler and clean it if necessary, in the meantime contemplate a new cooling solution.

so i highly doubt my cooler is rock-bottom terrible, its an arctic freezer a30.

This was a lifesaver for me and my A10 APU: http://www.tomshardware.com/faq/id-2122665/understanding-temperature-amd-cpus-apus.html

It's an excellent guide, and definitely read all of it.

Then reinstall it, you didn't install it right then, applied shitty thermal paste, mounted the contacts wrong, stuff like that. Take it off, and put it in again.

Zircoben :

THIS

Use socket temps and AMD overdrive, instead of speccy / HWmonitor or whatever the 150f is coming from
