Can CPUID HWMonitor be wrong? (Hope someone can help me out)

[Jessica Fish]

My CPU Is AMD A6 5400k
CPUID HWMonitor and every other temp monitor is saying that my CPU is always at 58 to 70 C and sometimes goes up to 85. The max before my CPU overheats is supposed to be 70 but I am not noticing any issues like slowing down, Crashing or loud fan or anything. I have also used: Speccy, Open Hardware Monitor, CoreTemp and AMD OverDrive they all say the same expect for Open Hardware Monitor which shows my CPU Core temp 4.C to 25.C. Is it possible that they are just reading the temp wrong?

I brought my tower into a professional to get all the dust cleaned out and it was full of dust so I expected the temp readings to go down after being cleaned but they have not but as I said before I am not having any noticeable performance issues or crashes. Could it just be hot because the temperature of the room I am in is hot?

''CPUID HWMonitor '' -- I stopped using it my self for that hwinfo64 , much better and consistent readings

try something like hwinfo64 and compare there readings ??

also try another revision as well like if your using cupid ver 8.0 try a older or newer one like 7.3 ?? I there all just programs and can be subject to a bug

may want to look at AMD overdrive for that AMD chip [AOD Status Monitor] even if not using it for any overclocking and just as a monitor
