Ok, Im wondering/am a little scared that my cpu is overheating. After a bit of research, I saw that my cpu (AMD FX-6300 6-Core) has a max temp of 65c. After playing Battlefield: Hardline my temperatures are maxing at 70c. I read that sometimes open hardware monitor gives incorrect CPU readings and that they can be corrected by looking at the Motherboard cpu readings. Well all of my mother reading are called Temperature #X. I renamed the one I believe to be the cpu socket or whatever it is. So, am I overheating? Again I have an AMD FX-6300 with a Hyper 212 evo cooler.

Heres the screen shot:

Downloaded overdrive and played a couple of matches. It usually stayed around 1-5 ish but at one time I saw 8.5 for a split second. It might be low due to I had to alt+tab for a second to take the screenshot. Heres a couple of screenshots. http://imgur.com/cUIUD9t,81kI63w,MoRaa8n#0

U should see first, second, and third image at the top to switch between the three photos.

-EDIT- Ok so apparently you don't want it to reach 0.... am I safe?
