Hai, so im here because i am a person who gets way too nervous about computers. I recently built my PC and im happy but the temps have really gone up. Im using stock coolers and here are my temps

-HWMonitor Readings :
CPU Package :
-Gaming 100C
-Idle 78C
-BIOS 55C

I think that is WAY too hot and especially for a cpu that ive only been using for about 1 month so there should'nt be any dust build up. So what should i do? Im concidering a hyper 212 but i dont really have any more money too spend so if you can help thanks in advance.

If you need the specs :
AMD A10 6800K
Gigabyte F2A55M-HD2 rev3.0
8GB Crucial Balistix Sport
MSI 750Ti
Corsair CX430M PSU
and a 500 GB hard drive

i guess i should also add i have 6 fans and im still getting problems :(  Im also too scared to play games now so yeah ...

An Understanding of Temperature on AMD CPUs and APUs
Does HWMonitor say your CPU/APU temp is 70C when idling but your CPU socket feels cool to the touch? Is Core Temp only reading 10C but it's not possible because your room is 28C? The reason is that these and other 3rd party programs are not... See full content

Something is likely reporting false temps. The max operating temp should be 74C.
Download coretemp, speedfan, etc and see what they say. It could be a faulty senor. Also, turn the fan speed up and see if that helps.

cooler is probably not seated properly or paste is not applied correctly. Do you have thermal paste ?

clean CPU and cooler with isopropyl 99% alcohol (rubbing alcohol) apply pea method or X method and seat properly the cooler on it. once seated you cant pull it out without cleaning again because of bubbles of air.

The FM2/+ platform is notorious for crazy false temps ^^

Step 1. Blow the case out - to get rid of built up dust - especially fans, coolers and filters.
Get rid of any CPU overclock. Bump up the cpu fan speed.

If still not 35C idle and 50C gaming, then -

Step 2. Re-seat the cpu cooler (Google it)

If still not OK -

Step 3. Get a better cooler.
