Unusual CPU Temp

WhatTheWaffle · Apr 21, 2017

I have a AMD Athlon 860k and I have been worried about my CPU cooling and condition for a while now. This anxiety has been caused by really poor performance in many games and sure enough when I go to check Overdrive it says I have a thermal margin of 22 degrees when idle.

Personally I find that is worrying but I barely believe it.

Umm...what are the temperatures exactly?

CorsairSSC :

Well I can't find the temperatures other than the AMD Overdrive thermal margin which is 22 degrees. If I try HWMonitor it just says 100 degrees temp.

Poor performance with suspiciously high CPU temperature. That's the typical behavior for thermal throttling, something has likely gone wrong with your HSF installation.

Yea, I don't think my CPU fan is spinning...

Update: Nevermind, fan is spinning.

I would get some thermal paste and do a reseat of the heatsink, 22 idle is def high
