This is scaring me, CPU temps

[g12601]

So I put new thermal paste on my CPU from the stock stuff (Arctic Silver 5) and I thought it would help. Temperatures did not change. Could it be I just have a bad CPU (A4 7300)? Or could it be I did not but in enough?

NEED HELP QUICK

did you remove the old paste before reapplying?

what cooler are you using?

Yes I cleaned, took a while but I did.

I'm using the stock cooler

something must be wrong with your mounting mechanism or something

the fan is running on it right?

 

buy a 212 evo if you can

is >1.4V standard for A4-7300? Seems rather high but I'm not too brushed up on APUs,

Fan is running

I don't think the 212 evo fits in my case

if you open the tab for the motherboard (right above the CPU tab) what temps does it show

can you install msi afterburner and hwinfo64 and see what cpu temps those software report?

 

AMD apu's in my experience dont register correctly with monitoring software

[Cyracus]

the temp differences you can expect from changing thermal paste is insignificant unless you're replacing like 5+ year old paste, and then the difference is mostly due to the new stuff being new. If you want to decrease temps get a better cooler than stock

hmm..
need more info about this computer

did you build it yourself? or was it prebuilt?

and how did you remove the heatsink from the cpu?

these temps for his cpu are not normal
its a 65watt dual core running at 4ghz stock

i have an a10-6700 quadcore apu that turbo's upto 4.3ghz with a shitty stock cooler but temps never go over 62c under an hour load of minecraft

Lol, minecraft is not a good comparison lol. run Cinebench or prime 95 and tell me temps,

Yes, I built it.

Not sure how to explain, I just relased the latch and pushed the thing and wiggled it off.

Hwmonitor doesn't work right with amd temp sensors.

 

Download amd overdrive to monitor the temps it will read out in (thermal margin) degrees C until the cpu reads max temp, but will be accurate.
