Amd apus measure temperature with a thermal margin (temp until max temp), the only software that cen reliably read it is AMD Overdrive.

So I have just installed a CoolerMaster hyper 212 EVO onto my AMD A10-5800k. Before I was using just the stock heatsink and was getting around a constant 70-85 degrees Celsius. After installing the Hyper 212 EVO, msi afterburner and coretemp 1.3 both show that the cpu is at 0-25 degrees Celsius, while HWMonitor shows it at a cozy 47-72 degrees Celsius. Anyone have an idea of whats going on? Maybe I Installed the Hyper 212 EVO wrong, but then again I feel like the computer wouldn't be on if that were the case. Could it be that msi afterburner and Coretemp are just reading inaccurately? I attached a screenshot of all of the readings. I'm just super confused as to what is going on right now T-T. Anyway thank you in advance ^-^.Capture.PNG

My first thought is that MSI Afterburner and CoreTemp aren't playing well with AMD's sensor.

Went and installed AMD overdrive and it's giving me roughly the same readings as HWmonitor so I'm guessing that msi after burner and core temp are indeed just not playing well with it. but now that I see overdrive giving me the about 65-66 degrees celsius average I'm not as worried as before.

 

EDIT: Thank you guys for your answers and helpful pointers. Really is cool that within 2 minutes of posting I already had some very helpful info. Again thank you guys ^-^
