Posted June 4, 2016 Title explains it mostly. On idle, SpeedFan is showing temps for my non-overclocked AMD FX-8120 at about 52°C to 60°C. Even though I'm using the stock cooler, these temps seem way too high. Also, although my CPU is running hot, my GPU is only at about 33°C. Does anybody have any ideas why my temps are so high?

Use Overdrive to monitor temps, it is shown as thermal margin, overdrive shows a max temp of 70c on FX cpus so if it shows 45c you have 45c until you hit 70, also max temp on the FX cpus is 61c as recommended by AMD.
