high temps after installing new cpu
I just bought a used cpu for and older pc and the idle temps are really good 30c and below but as soon as i instliied malware bytes to check my pc the temp jumbed to 80c I know their are bad sensors on the cpu because 1 temp monitoring program says one thing and another temp monitoring. Should i just dismmis this as a bad sensor?

I would remove and reapply thermal paste.

Quite possible they sold you an already overheated cpu
