CPU temp is odd . From 9-21 C WHY?

Hi.

Ive tested my system for normal ruining temperature. and temps what i see are kinda shocking me.
PC is running around 5 hours now.

Whats wrong its impossible

Something is wrong with the software or a sensor. Unless of course your system is an environment with very low ambient temps.

FX Processors do not work correctly with HWMonitor.

The only way to get correct temperatures for an FX processor is from AMD Overdrive. And even then they show Thermal Limit, not actual temp. It is an inherent part of the processor design.

So you want say its impossible to track CPU temp? Can't be true .
Hmm I'm have average cooling :
Golden Field z2 case , Antec Mercury 360AIO cooler and 4 Arctic case coolers. So idk just I don't want CPU to be condensated

devilangel :

I didn't say its impossible, I said you cannot use HWMonitor

a 360 AIO cooler is way more than enough to cool that CPU. I don't understand how you're worried about condensation, unless you're in a humid moist environment.

Anyway if you want to watch temperature you need to go here

https://www.amd.com/en/technologies/amd-overdrive

and download Overdrive. Then watch the Thermal Margin. Thermal margin is the DIFFERENCE between your current temp and the temp where it will overheat and throttle. So large numbers are good. For example if it says 25C your processor is running cool. Small numbers are bad. So 5 C means your CPU is very hot and about to throttle.

never had a problem with hw monitor on my fx 6300.that having been said see what overdrive says.if you are still getting weird readings i would say its a sensor problem.

aldan :

HW Monitor has never given correct readings on FX processors, ever. Relationally you can figure out what the numbers are if you sit there and plot it against overdrive. But there is no way what you were reading was correct. The FX Chips literally do not have a normal thermal sensor like an Intel or AMD Ryzen Chip does. Thermal margin is calculated based upon a few inputs from sensors in the CPU.

This may help as well

Tried out overdrive
Well im sad now. This cooling giving me a really bad results 52-61c WTF

Did you read anything I posted?

The numbers you are seeing are VERY GOOD. Large numbers good, small numbers are bad.

57.8 means you are 57.8 degrees from overheating. If it said 5.8 that means you are 5.8 degrees from overheating (which is bad).
