Hello everyone, My laptop is saying its core temps are around 220f. I took it apart and cleaned it and replaced the thermal past. It does not feel hot to the touch. What should it do? Any suggestions welcome. Thankyou
It is a dell 15 5000 with an AMD A10
Could it be a bad sensor? It does not seem to be overheating at all

Did I fix your problem? Please feel free to donate to me at <Link Removed> 

Any donation is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Try another monitoring program, HWInfo64 is my preference.

It's possible there is a bad sensor, it's possible the program you're using now is not reading it out properly
