Hey,
I'm in the midst of OC'ing my 6300 on a Asrock 970 Extreme 4 board. I thought I'd give the boards auto OC feature and it seems to have me running @4GHz no issues at all.
One issue though, I'm looking at my temps in CPUID HWMonitor and my CPU Package temp is reading roughly 16 degrees with a low of 12 degrees on idle, and maximums of 43 degrees on max load. How come I'm getting temperatures lower than room temperature during idle? That doesn't make any sense to me
I'm cooling with a Hyper 212 evo and case fans creating a defined airflow pattern so I expected low temperatures but below room temperature worries me that the program is reading incorrectly, and I could actually be burning out my CPU or something! I tried a second program (Open Hardware Monitor) And it gives me the exact same readings.
Im just nervous that the readings are completely off and I won't be able to tell when my OC is getting too hot. Any words on that?
Thanks!
