AMD A8-5500 Heat Problem

Hey guys,

 

So recently i have been monitoring my cpu temp and i have found some weird things (not sure if they are normal). So I am using a stock AMD heat sink on my A8-5500 and i under-clocked it to 1.4 GHz and just browsing the web with Skype open (not signed in), CPUID open, and catalyst control center open it is at 49 degrees Celsius. When i put it to 3.4 GHz and run Prime95 i t reaches as high as 88 degrees. Is there a problem or do most A8 processors run this hot? Thanks.

That's some pretty normal temps. Prime 95 is meant to get your cpu to its max load, i.e. high temps.

They have notoriously wrong sensors, It's completely fine.
