a10 7850k high temps

[Endx]

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knew average temps for the a10 7850k using the stock heatsink/fan.

Running 100% cpu speed i get 45c idle and up to 82c under load.
Currently running 70% cpu speed getting 45c idle around 57 - 62c under load.

Using speccy for temps, used hwinfo before and got the same exact numbers.
AMD overdrive's thermal margin is around 40c when the temp of the apu is at 80c.

Was afraid I was going to damage the apu running at those high temps so it will sit how it is until I know for sure. Using the stock heatsink/fan, probably going to get a cooler hyper master 212 soon.

I would go by AOD. The 3rd party temp pgms. are always suspect with APUs.

I'm on an Athlon X4 860K now and I have the opposite problem with temp pgms. My CPU is idling at 6C! Load temps at 23C! AOD's TM makes more sense.
This has been an issue with every Kaveri, Richland, and Trinity I've built.

Thank you for your help clutchc

Ok so it seems staying in the thermal margin will be fine. I seem to have decent leg room even under heavy load while playing a few different games.

Still though I was nervous before, seeing temps like 80c was alarming at first.

Yeah, those temps would make me suspicious too. But if AOD shows you have double digit or better yet 20s in TM room left, you are doing fine.
