Core temp or cpu temp? 1090t

[megagabobe1]

in hardware monitor I can see the core temps and cpu temp, which one should i trust? this source tells me to trust the core temps http://www.overclock.net/t/1128821/amd-temp-information-and-guide

I would say the CPU temp but really both are important. The CPU Temp is the overall temp of the CPU as a whole. The core temp is the temp of each individual core.

As that guide says, they mean different things and should be considered in different situations. Use the core temp when going by the CPU's listed thermal limit, and use the CPU temp when referring to the actual temperature of the CPU: comparing heatsink performance, checking idle temps, etc.

thx for the anwer, then the CPU temp can go higher than 62? but not the cores

Do you have a third-party heatsink? It can, but it would be better if it didn't.

i got an Antec kuhler 620 with the 2 fans, the max CPU temp i reached was 59c, and the max CORE temp was 50c, you think its okay?

That's higher than the Kuhler should let it get. How did your application technique compare to this? http://benchmarkreviews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=170&Itemid=38&limit=1&limitstart=3

i got it oced to 4ghz with 1.4v

Oh, there's the issue
You're fine, then.

thx man, then the temps are fine?

 

[kajabla]

Ya. Not dangerous. I just thought they were high for a less-ambitious OC.

thx man, i think ill leave it at 3.8ghz just to be sure
