Hi
Firstly, in case anyone never heard A8 7500, it's prebuilt PC only processor. The CPU and GPU cores are similar to A8 7600. Also afaik, apparently it doesn't have boost clock.
I have old Athlon II PC, with Jetway TA97MG motherboard. The RAM slots are getting faulty after years of usage. Fortunately I have spares so I swapped the processor and motherboard.
The new cpu and MB are A8 7500 and ECS A68F2P-M4 V1.0. The cooler is A8 7650K stock cooler (the one with red fan and 2 heatpipes). OS is still the same old Windows 7 64-bit, no reinstall (I use Paragon Adaptive Restore).
Here's the weird problem:
When I checked the processor temperature with HWMonitor, OpenHardwareMonitor, and Core Temp, all of them gives wrong reading.
How can the cpu be as cold as 10°C at idle (sometimes it gives -5°C reading)? I can feel warm air when I put my hand near the heatsink. But when I checked in the BIOS, temperature reading is right. Also HWMonitor and OpenHardwareMonitor gave right reading when I was using old processor and motherboard.
I wonder what caused the wrong readings. Is that caused by no reinstall OS when I swapped motherboard?
