Hello. I have an FX6300 CPU. AIDA64 is showing some strange values regarding temps. While it shows core temps of 9 degrees celsius, it shows the cpu temp of 25 degrees. Why is there such a difference in temps?

Hi. I followed deathRabit advice and installed a software provided by the manufacturer of my motherboard and that software is showing even lower temps

22º for the CPU
8º for the cores

I know FX6300 is a good CPU in terms of temps but these temps seem too good to be true.
 
22C for Cpu is good temp you use Water ?
Or mayby you have low ambient temp for air ?

I have some problem to with corect temps on my mobo
Even under OCCT but wehn I turn stres test temps start looking more real.

Check temps under UEFI (Bios)
And check temp limit under AMD Overdrive. *(Shows only how much degres you still until you reach temp limit for your CPU - for my always show correctly)

right now temperatures are quite cool since we are in autumn.
I forgot to tell these temps are in idle.
The cooler is a Zalman Performa 11X
Even under load, temps are all right.
