Weird CPU Temps

[Pickelhaube]

For some reason, my new AMD FX-8370 (Overclocked to 4.5GHz) at idle, is around 15C in a 25C room...

 

As stated in a previous topic, this is impossible...?

 

CPU: AMD FX-8370 (4.5GHz)

CPU Cooler: CM Hyper 212 EVO

Thermal Paste: Antec Formula 7

bad temp sensor, the fx series are known to have them.

does the chip work would be my first question run a long stress test to see if it even works under heavy load

if it works then probably the thermal sensor is bad . then you can keep it or do a RMA/exchange

I have already done many long stress tests, and it reaches 35C.

@RektSkrubs Dont worry its just the temp probes, My fx6300 does it in the summer
