Cpu temperature

[Esparagon]

well thx a lot guys and sorry for making you waste your time for such a stupid thing xD(wont trust hwmonitor ever again ;( )

[refraction]

Speedfan and Core Temp show the temperatures of different sensors, Core Temp use those inside the CPU Cores (and thus it's the temperature I monitor) while Speedfan use the Motherboard sensor near the CPU socket, so it's reliability depend on the motherboard manufacturer and where the sensor is placed, obviously it won't give the same value of Core Temp.

That was kinda my implication by it being close but not 100% accurate

Well i check the heat sink again it is properly mounted(dont know how you can realy mount it wrong since it has thoes clips on the side xD)

And i have been playing ffx from the begging until the cut sceen where sin first apears whit core temp and speedfan monitoring and core tamp max was 40 and speedfans was 45 and that is cool .

After i was sure i tested enough i turned them off and started hwmonitor and i am getting thoes scik temps again so it is probably something to do whit hwmonitor o and i cant test using real temp since it dosent support my cpu :/.

Well, I never used the stock heatsink from AMD so I don't know how much is hard/easy to mount, but I had some problems with my previous heatsink and that's why I thought it may be the problem (in my case the contact between heatsink and CPU was so poor that only the border of the CPU were in contact and thus I had awful temps).

Ah i only had stock coolers so far and tbh you ahve to be kinda dumb to mount stock heatsink wrong o and any recomendations for quiet heatsink since the stock 1 is loud as hell?

The noctua ones I mentioned are pretty darn quiet

Probably anything will be quieter than the stock one. As Refraction said Noctua are very quiet, I have a Noctua NH-U9B-SE2 and does a very good job with a very low noise, if you don't plan to overclock you may also look at cheaper models, formerly I had an AC Freezer Xtreme and it was also quite good and very quiet, but it was the one that gave me troubles (but it seems that other peoples use it in AMD PC without problem so I think that I was unlucky...).

Just today my computer shut off, the PSU fan was hardly moving, luckily was possible to get it running free again with a drop of oil but it is under observation till I get replacement. And was double lucky the PSU has many types of protections, including to overheating.

The CPU cooler itself gave me no problems of any sort to date (H80 corsair liquid cooler).
