What's going on with my CPU temperatures?

[SpenceKP]

So I've noticed lots of high CPU usage on my computer so I decided to download HWInfo and take a look at my temperatures, I don't quite understand what all the numbers mean, but seeing 70-80 degree temps for the CPU package when I have nothing open but Chrome is concerning, can anyone explain to me what's going on? Is my CPU thermal throttling? Do I need to get a good CPU cooler asap? My CPU is an Athlon II X4 760k, stock cooler, no OC.

Touch the heatsink, does it actually feel hot?

 

Could be a dodgy reading.

I'm too scared to actually touch it but the areas on my case where I can usually feel the heat when my computer is under load don't feel warm, so it might be a bad reading, the thing is I tried some other software to get the reading such as HWMonitor and I'm still getting high temp readings

and then this is the reading I get with SpeedFan

You should really just touch it, if it really is 80 degrees, you'll be able to touch it for like 10 seconds before it hurts abit.

 

Getting a new heatsink for 20 monies or so wouldn't be a bad idea, the stock AMD coolers are very bad, and very loud.

I touched it and it definitely didn't feel that hot, so its probably just a bad reading like you said, I probably I will get a new cooler fairly soon though. Thanks for the help!
