Does the AMD A6-5200 or Athlon 5350 have a temperature sensor?

[PlayStation 2]

Title. If not, what software should I use to check its approximate temperature?

[PlayStation 2]

Yes they do. Unfortunately, it's bordeline crap. FM2 and FM2+ socket have temperature sensor issues.

 

Use HWMonitor w/ AMD Overdrive to check temps.

But the Athlon 5350 is AM1?

But the Athlon 5350 is AM1?

there are sensors obviously

 

some guy even overclocked this cpu

I meant APUs across the board, sorry. You would still use the same software

[harrynowl]

No they don't. 

 

The temperature is calculated based on power conditions by the northbridge... and somehow they managed to completely bork it on FM2(+). But you can generally get a decent idea of typical load temperature by idling in the BIOS for 10 minutes and checking the CPU temp (if the board shows it).

 

But I'm not sure about FS1b Kabini APUs (AM1 is the platform). I'd expect the same.

They don't have sensor, just an algorithm that calculate temperature based on the voltage I think. I am running on AMD CPU with a 212 evo. Idle temp is a chilling 10C which is obviously wrong.
