Hello everyone of Tomshardware!

I have been overclocking recently and being new to doing it I have run into many questions. I have OC'ed my CPU to 4.5Ghz @ around 1.4~vcore (drops to around 1.392vcore when under load, if that means anything...) I was running Prime95 on Small FFT setting and HWiNFO64 said that my maximum CPU 0 Package temp was 192.8C!!! http://prntscr.com/67ch41 picture is at top... However, HWMonitor says I never went above 44C on ANY of my temps and I am worried why HWiNFO64 says 192C. **Overclock seems stable after tests with Intel Burn Test AVX and Prime95**

Specs:
FX-8320 4.5Ghz @1.4vcore
Mobo: Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3
GTX 770
4GB ram (letting brother use other stick untill he gets some for his build)
EVGA 600B Bronze PSU
Corsair H105 CPU cooler
Corsair 760T (case if that helps show problem) *case fans running at "high performance mode"*

Probably just an error. 200º and it'd melt the insides of your PC :p. Try another tool, like MSI Afterburner just to triple check.

I would too, we're so used to expect perfect calculations from the software that, when these bugs occur, we take it seriously xD.
