Help With AMD A Series

[Tbomb]

Hey guys so I just built up my new pc and I have a couple questions.

 

-First I am using an AMD A8 Processor ( http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=4_1210_64&item_id=060816)

and Speccy has been showing Idle temps anywhere from 45 C all the way up to 65 C I am using a corsair H60 cooler and when I was using the stock cooler the temps were even higher sometimes up to 75 C at idle Is my CPU defective or is the temperature reading wrong. 

 

Second the APU's box says it is recomended to run dual graphics with amd 6000 series cards I have a 7850 (http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?cid=1&gid=3&sgid=1160&pid=1472&lid=1). can I still run dual graphics if so how do I set this up. 

 

Thanks everyone in advanced for all your help I know I'm asking quite a bit here all help if much appreciated.

No you can not run the duel graphics mode, there only for up to a 6670 for duel graphics mode

Try re-seating your cooler and if that doesn't change the temps at all it is probably just AMD's crappy temp sensors. I have always had issues with AMD's temperature sensors being off, on the GPU side and the CPU side.
