I have an Athlon X4 860K on a Gigabyte GA-F2A88XM-DH3, and I'm trying to settle on a good OC, but I can't seem to figure out what my temps are actually at. HWMONITOR only shows Package temp, HWiNFO shows CPU 0 and CPU 0 Package, and AMD Overdrive shows temps for all four cores but I'm not convinced they're accurate because they haven't really changed at all whether I'm at 3.7GHz or 4.0GHz. Also, none of them are even showing the same temperature at the same time.

Just so you know, the clock speed does now affect temperature, only the voltage. Changing the clock speed will do very little to the temperatures of cores.

Oh, well in that case I'm going back up to 4.0GHz. I went back to stock speeds because I was worried that I was overheating (seeing as I have a Hyper T4) without having any way of knowing.

That's pretty much what I figured, but I wanted to make sure I hadn't screwed with something in the BIOS that disabled sensors or something.
