False temperatures?

[TeodrosKing]

Hello, I am wondering if there is a problem with my CPU's temps on HWmonitor. I see it hitting 50-80 degrees in game but when I touch the steel on the Coooler Master 212 EVO it is so cold. I have reapplied my thermal paste three times so I know it's not a problem with that but what is wrong with this?

And second thing, my CPU fan is at 11% and is getting the same temps on idle as it would while at 100%, the difference is, is that it hits 98 degrees celcius while playing games which is FREAKING SCARY. While playing on 100% is 80-87 which is still FREAKING SCARY.

Use core temp

I've never had issues using Core Temp or RealTempGT.

 

Also, AMD chips are known to have temperature sensor issues. I'm not sure if you're particular chip is known to have those issues, though.

I have Haswell and for me HWMonitor shows bad temperatures for me too. I use AI Suite because of the Asus motherboard..

 

Most AMD CPUs don't work well with HWMonitor because of the sensors that they're using

AMD have sensor issues well known thing for them. Use something like real temp though. more accurate i find.

Use core temp

Tried before, didn't recognize, my CPU is an AMD Athlon 760K.

I have an AMD Athlon 760K and both of those never recognize it or it doesn't even get past the fact that I have Windows 8.1 and not Windows 7.

When I was on HWmonitor just now I looked at the max it was at. It went to 256 degrees Celcius. Excuse my language but I shit you not. It said 256
