Weirdly Low Temps

[ethandeguire]

I have an fx 6300 with a gtx 1060, (upgrading cpu in a month calm down), and I was stress testing my CPU with AIDA 64 burn test, Prime95, CPU-Z, and OCCT, and noticed it never went above 50C with a stock cooler. The Mhz didnt go down. This is weird because last time i did it, i got into the 60's, I haven't changed my cooler, thermal paste, or overclock and suddenly it's much lower. Does anybody know why this is?

windows open in winter?

Because it's happy like that?

better check if it's true with hwmonitor, coretemp and aida64 (three programs just to make sure it's correct)

no, relatively similar ambient temps, ~2F dif at most. It's wierd bc i think it may be slowing something down, hurting performance.

I used speccy, and all the ones u said (-coretemp).  I think that the chips sensors may be dying or something, bc these temps are too low not to be hurting performance or being wrong

Did the weather become a lot colder since last time you checked? CPU temperatures scale one-to-one with the ambient temperature

CPU temperatures can be very low when there is good cooling. My processors are usually around 36 degrees Celsius.

No, not by more than 2F.

This is a stock AMD heatsink. It's not exactly a good cooler
