To start off this is my current build:
EVGA SuperNova 650W PSU
MSI R9 390 (Previously, as in yesterday, I had two EVGA 660's in SLI and still got similar temperatures)
Two 1tb HDDs
FX-6300 with a Rosewill RCX-Z1 CPU Cooler
MSI 970 Motherboard
8gb DDR3 1600 RAM
So this hasn't been an issue before but it suddenly appeared 2 or 3 days ago. I usually use CPUID HWMonitorPro to check my CPU's temp and I've been getting some wonky temperatures, like 40-50 degrees on idle and then 85.5-90.3 degrees when playing games, even when I play really low demanding games. I've cleaned my PC thoroughly, blasted all of my fans and even opened the case after opening my window and turned on my overhead fan. Yet the temperature readings still hit upwards of 90 degrees and stays at a toasty 70-75 degrees. I'm not sure if the CPU temperature readings are just wrong or my CPU is just straight up dying because in AMD OverDrive it says the max TMPIN0 has gotten is 60.25 degrees. So do I have anything to worry about or should I just trust the AMD OverDrive temperatures and call it a day? The CPU cooler worked amazing in the past. My temps never went over 40 degrees under load, yet now its saying that its basically melting.
