hello guys. i just reinstalling my CPU tower heatsink. i am using cooler master x6. and my CPU is amd a8 6600k. but when i check on BIOS and HWmonitor, it reach 80c and above. i don't know what's wrong with it. is it because i am using cheap thermal paste ? or the system reads my temperature wrong ? please help. thank you.

 
Solution
Edit: just realized you have an APU,


Please use AMD OverDrive to get accurate temps. Other programs like HWMonitor can give incorrect temps
