Hello. I have an AMD Fx 6300 and i am very worried about CPU temps. I'm using the software core temp to measure it and its coming out as 75 degrees C. This worries me as i am only playing minecraft (yogspack complete). Is it me or the inaccurate programme. I do not have the stock cooler either but i do not know what it is.


Please help!

Get hwmonitor to check your temperatures accurately. If the temps are indeed 75c you need to reapply the cooler and termal paste (search a guide on youtube how to properly apply the thermal paste)
Do you have no cooler sitting on top of the CPU? it NEEDS a cooler, stock or non stock...Did you apply fresh thermal grease properly?

Anyhow, yes, thats far too hot if the reading is accurate. The max safe operating temp for the FX chips is 61C for the chip itself and 72C for the socket
