Hi, yesterday I changed the thermal paste on my cpu (FX_8350) because the previous thermal paste was applied badly and I didn't have time to fix it. Ever since then the temperature readings for it keep counting down from about 32 to 18 Degrees C. I'm using an Asus Sabertooth 990fx r2.0 motherboard and an external fan controller so I shouldn't have to worry about false readings controlling fans. Do I need to worry about it at all? Also the Thermal Paste was Arctic Silver if it matters. Thanks.

The temperature sensors on the 8350 are inaccurate below ~40 degrees Celsius. Just watch the max temps, if those are good and your idle temps aren't completely ridiculous you're golden.

Okay that's good to know. Thanks! Load temperatures don't really get over 50 and socket temps never get past that as well so I should be all good.
