So in HWMoniter my tempreture readings for my CPU are about 20-25º while idle (except writing this post) But i feel that this is inaccurate because when i am gaming for example(TF2, Max Everything) the CPU reaches temperatures of about 40-45º. Is this accurate? i question this because there is a section called TMPIN2 in HWmoniter that reaches temps of about 55 when in the same scenario. Is TMPIN2 my acctual CPU temp? I am Also using the stock fan with the AMD FX 8350. My Full Specs Are - (Nothing Has Been Overclocked Or Modified In Any Way)

It should be hotter than that, when I got my 8350 I used the default fan and mine was running upends to 60-80 Celsius. Might be reading it wrong, but it could be right I mean does it feel that hot to you? I'd recommend opening the opposite side of the case and feeling the metal part (The silver part that holds the fan in place). I'd recommend getting another fan though, stock fans can break easy. I have a cooler master like EVO or something. I'd look into investing into a fan if I were you.

When i used AIDA 64 the tempretures that i got were the same as the TMPIN2 in HWmoniter. when i ran a stress test the max temp that my CPU got was about 80-85. does that mean i have misplaced somthing in the build maybe?
