AMD A10-5745M heat issues on HP Envy m6-k010dx

[fede1195]

Hi, I have the following issue with my HP Envy Sleekbook m6-k010dx. According to the monitoring software "Speccy" the CPU reaches temps of 110°C under load and idles at about 80°C. The first time I saw these temperatures I turned off the laptop immediately, but now after some months of use I'm pretty sure that the readings are wrong, first of all because the cpu would have fried at 110° and its working just fine. Also because at idle the fan spins at the minimum speed (while the cpu is apparently at 80°). And then the other thing that leads me to think that the temp reading is wrong is that the temperature of the integrated gpu, shown by the same program(Speccy) is 35°C at idle and about 60°C under load, which seems like much more reasonable temperatures, and I really don't think that there can be such a huge temperature difference between the cpu and the igpu since they are both on the same die.
What do you guys think ?
Thank you very much for the help!

well for starters don't just use a single hardware monitoring software try this http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html also make sure the fans are not blocked with dirt and dust.

Hi qazzi thanks for the answer, I have downloaded and installed HWMonitor and it shows the same values as Speecy,I have taken a screenshot, do you know how can I post it here ?
About the fans I know they are not dirty since I have checked them a week ago.
Thanks !

Read this sticky post about the newer AMD CPU's temperature monitor, you find out why nothing reads it correctly

An Understanding of Temperature on AMD CPUs and APUs

Next install AMD's OverDrive Program and be relieved, I had the same problem, the DTS sensor on HWinFO program correlates with the Thermal Margin on AMD Overdrive.
