Ok so im getting between 45 and 67 degrees c on my athlon x4 750k (stock heatsink) when doing simple stuff like writing this thread, i was wondering is that normal for my cpu or is my rig about ti explode.
 
Solution


at idle you should be getting temperatures around 30-40 degrees, please make sure the heatsink is seated properably and have used the right amount of thermal paste, u should only use a pea sized amount of thermal paste

possibly, you could take the cpu out and put it back in again to sort that out: :)

ok, so i have tried a couple of other monitoring programs, aida64 is telling me about 40c UNDER LOAD, like wtf i was using the inbuild stress test, idk, then i try open hardware monitor and it is saying that the max temps while writing this is about 20c, Im so confused, also core temp just gives me a 0c reading
