Amd 8350 Cpu hotter than cores

[Jizburg]

I saw a strange thing today in my computer. the CPU is hotter than its cores.

i am running Aida 64 extreme edition and when i look at the sensors it is saying that my cores are 39*c and the CPU is 49-55*C
this is a big diference in temperature on sutch a litle chip. anyone have any idea?

[Chevaishr]

maybe some funky sensors (quite common actually ) i won't be too concerned 

[Jizburg]

ok then. but what sensor should i "trust" the 8 core sensors  that says 39 or the "CPU" that says 49-55?

Just some weird sensor readings. Don't worry about it. You want to worry about the cores the most anyhow.

The core sensors. What does CoreTemp say?

I have seen this type of  "scratch my head and wonder"  sensor

responses on my FX 8120..to the point that the cores are below ambient temperatures... :P

What I do know is the thermal limits are based on the core temp..

[Jizburg]

Core temp are 39*C on all cores.

and you are shure you do not have some liquid nitrogen stuck in the chip ;P?

Core temp are 39*C on all cores.

I meant the CoreTemp application.

LOL...I wish.. :lol:

i am sorry.. i do not know what that is.. is that a separate program or is it a feature in windows?

It's a separate program. Can be found here.

[BroKenFingers]

Yes..CoreTemp is a software program that will read the CPU sensors  :  http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/

use the More downloads button..and choose your flavor..

[Jizburg]

installing now. got a wierd pirate game with it.. gonna try coretemp now.

Cpu# 0 33*C
Min 33*C Max 43*C

and at the moment Aida 64 is saying Cpu is 45*c and cores are 33*c

Based on this information, I would trust the core temp in AIDA64.

ok thanks

[BroKenFingers]

Sorry..should have made the choice MoreDownloads more oblivious.. :( 

You may also want to have a look at Open hardware monitor or HW64

I agree. Do you stick with one tool, or use a few and compare the differences ?
