I recently changed out the thermal paste on my FX-6300 and the temps are better but are kinda all over the place... should I go back and reapply or is this normal? Please help me I'm not good with thermals! xD
Is that Hardware Monitor you are using? I have found that with my FX 6300, the only temp monitoring software that gives accurate readings (usually) is AMD Overdrive. It shows Thermal Margin (which is how many degrees away from the maximum temp. you are currently at), as opposed to actual temperatures (unless you have an old version of Overdrive which does show actual temps).
