Broken Sensor?

No. The fan speed stays lower but I have a custom fan curve, which it SHOULD be on 100% at 85c, but right now it feels like 30% fan speed. The heatsink is pretty hot, but it's not 95c hot 

EDIT : The heatsink burned me, please send donations.

I have an FX 8320 with stock cooler. It hits 90 degrees often and I only check when I'm gaming. I have no idea about idle temps, but is there anyway to check if the sensor is dead? I would hope it is, because these temps are crazy high. kvSfb3v.png

EDIT : 20 minutes idle, it went UP to 95 degrees with the sidepanel off.

93c is ridiculous for an AMD chip if it's actually accurate.

 

When your gaming does the CPU fan ramp up to higher speed? If you touch the heatsink when it's supposedly running very hot, is it?

No. The fan speed stays lower but I have a custom fan curve, which it SHOULD be on 100% at 85c, but right now it feels like 30% fan speed. The heatsink is pretty hot, but it's not 95c hot

85C is extreme for amd chip, you need to stay in the 60's.

what software are you using to monitor temps?

I've got EasyTune (Gigabyte's shitty software that comes with their motherboards) and CPUID HWMonitor, both are reporting the same temps.

Maybe try re-applying the thermal compound?

Try CoreTemp?

All that did was confuse me more... it's 20c away from the other 2

Very strange. The most accurate meter is located in the BIOS.

BIOS reported 70, dropped to 50. CoreTemp says 60 atm, so I guess I have 2 useless programs. And a broken fan curve. *sigh*

Hmm. Make sure the Cooler and CPU are touching. On my old rig I found out I was getting bad overclocking temps due to a bad connection between these two components.
