You know it;s cold when....

An FX 6300 is running at 8 degrees C. HWMonitor and AMD Overdrive both agree on the temps, I'm kinda worried about condensation, it was at 5 degrees a couple of hours ago when I powered it up!

Unless you're running some kind of crazy cooling setup, or you have very low ambient temperatures, I highly doubt you're getting those temperatures.

Case ambient when powered on was 18 degrees. I would get a screenshot, but I don't have the print screen key on my keyboard.

On AMD's it's normal (but misleading). If you want to get more accurate temp, you need to add the cpu + ambient temp's together.

 

My FX-4100 once went to -2ºC at idle, with an ambient temp of 13ºC

 

AMD chips have a wonky way of measuring their temps.

I'm going more towards the sensor in the CPU/CPU socket being inaccurate. You can't go below ambient unless you have some crazy cooling setup.

It does seem a bit odd. I'll get my thermocouple in there at some point and measure the bottom of the heatsink, unless it shows up more normal after a reboot.

My asus board gives me warning sometimes that my CPU is -32 or my voltages are 0.005v or some other similar silly figures hahaha

Thing is, when the CPU loads up a bit, the temps rise to what would be more normal, but when at idle, they go stupidly low. Maybe I should put my Peltier cooler in there and give it an excuse to be that low

It'll go even lower then.

I've got it O/C'd to 4.6 GHz, under load it gets rather close to thermal limits. I have had it clock at 5, but the voltages required push the temps styoooooooopidly high.
