cpu monitoring software or sensor?

footlicker · Apr 16, 2016

I know you guys might be sick and tired of this question, BUT FOR THOSE WHO AREN'T!

Bios hovers high 40's to low 50s. The picture represents where the temps normally sit while running the programs independently. They don't vary much otherwise.

I have an a8 5600 with a H60 "water"cooling heatsink/fan.

I'm curious why the temps vary so much between programs, and if i should be concerned?.

Love you guys for all the halp

Power used varies with the load and with that heat it dissipates so that's pretty normal and can vary at core level too.

You should use AMD Overdrive to check the thermal margins that should be at least 10°C at full load. The temperatures observed in the BIOS are perfectly fine since the CPU isn't idle, but it also isn't at full load.

This is a short great read on monitoring amd temps. It will give you a much better understanding of the varying temps.

Could you elaborate on how you place the cooler on the CPU? Such as the thermal past used and the procedure you used to apply the paste? Did you lift it up any after first setting it on the CPU?

JohnnyBoy05 :

I used the shitty arctic silver they sell at radioshak, and went with the "spread evenly" method for the paste, opted out of the pea because my current case arrangement is very... creative. I'm sure i smeared it a bit as I set both screws.

Using overclock I get to a 30~ degree thermal margin at full load. My concerns of a bad sensor have diminished after reading that post you linked. OR SHOULD THEY BE?

thanks guys

I would clean it and use the pea sized drop on the middle. But if you are 30c within the thermal margin at full load I believe you are good to go. Those other readings just gave you a scare which is understandable
