Hello all,
I recently built a computer using an AMD A10-5800K and I've been having some problems with temperature readings. I didn't check the temperature on the stock heatsink before I installed the Logisys Ice Wind Pro heatsink with an additional 120mm fan. I got a new case from a friend today with much better airflow, 4 92mm fans, 2 exhaust, 1 front intake, 1 side intake. I also received my new syringe of Arctic Silver compound. I applied the new compound and re-installed the heatsink. I have properly installed a heatsink before so this isn't new to me. Specify reports a minimum of 45°C on idle and 70°C. AMD Overdrive reports 70°C. Both of these have been the normal readings. I ran both in the same boot session and the two swapped temperatures. I've lowered voltage and clock speeds and nothing changed. CoreTemp reads 0. I've felt the heatsink and it was cool. What should I do?
