The only monitoring software I have had success with is AMD Overdrive. Just remember that is shows the "thermal headroom" not the temperature. It shows how much hotter the CPU can get. It will start out with a high number like 50C and as the CPU heats up the number goes DOWN. You really want 10C or more.
