Hello folks,
I just renewed my thermal compound because I thought the already applied one which came with my cooler (Freezer Pro 7 Rev. 2) would probably not do the job as well as the separately bought MX-4.
The computer runs fine, but when I check the temperatures with AMD Overdrive, it shows very differing ones - from 36° Celsius up to 46° Celsius in idle. I ran Prime95 for about one minute to check what happens and the temperatures went down and didn't change very much - they were at about 38° Celsius for the time period of testing. Afterwards, I started another Stress Test with Prime95 and they went to 51° Celsius and were more or less stable on this value.
The CPU is an AMD FX 6300 Black Edition on its stock clock and stock voltage, I did not change anything there.
Are those temperatures realistic or should I try other tools? I thought OverDrive would do the monitoring job best because I am using AMD hardware and OverDrive is AMD too, so it's most likely that they are working fine together.
// EDIT 1: I ran another test for some longer time, and temperatures went down again, instead of rising. They keep being at 33° Celsius, which is pretty low. I can't see why they could be so low.
Thanks in advance!
