Hello, everyone!
I have an FX CPU and tried to stress test it to see if it was stable and within good temperatures. I saw that the temperature readings were wrong and asked around.
People said that the temp reading on FX CPUs really doesn't work well and recommended me to use AMD Overdrive and look for the thermal margin temperature instead, so i downloaded it and ran another stress test to see what readings i would get and i got about 58-60C on idle and 36C while stress testing on prime95 with small FFTs (i think that's the name).
From what i read, thermal margin represents the distance from the current temperature to the maximum temperature but i don't know what is my CPU's maximum temperature, so i'm not sure about the results. Can anyone help? is a thermal margin of 36C during prime95 a good temperature?
Oh, and my CPU is an FX-4300 with a Hyper T4.
Thanks in advance!
