Hey, 
Ive been having problems with my computer shutting down while gaming and I cant pinpoint if its overheating of my processor or the powersupply. 

So I used some programs to find the temperatures, and this is what I got.

Not a single program has a decent temperature! What one should I trust?

Literally none. AMD chips don't really display accurate temps. Like, ever.

Sooooo... what should I do? Corsair is offering to RMA my PSU incase its the PSUs fault, but I don't want to pay the shipping if I am not sure if its really the PSU acting up or the fault of overheating. Should I buy a 212 EVO (because I will need one anyways) or suck up the $20 shipping and risk it?

I'd honestly say both. I wouldn't wanna risk a bad PSU, especially if they're offering to RMA it, and the 212 EVO is just a good idea in general.

Basic guide to CPU's!

If I said I were 14, you would call me a kid. If I say 70, you’ll entitle me too old. If I say 20 you say I’m inexperienced and if I say 40 than I'm too boring.
