Hey guys I'm currently having issues monitoring my cpu temps in my build. I just recently installed a corsair H75 liquid cpu cooler, and when I use programs such as speedfan, HWMonitor, and Corsair link they give me cpu temps between 45 and 59 degrees celcius at idle in windows. When I go to my Bios and try to get the temperatures there it usually tells me around 32, and doesn't tell me anything higher than 35 or almost 40 when I just finish gaming.

Should I be worried about my cpu temps because of the reading these programs are giving me, or trust my Bios? I think everything for my cooler is installed as well as it can be, I feel like it has the right amount of pressure onto my cpu, and there doesn't appear to be any kinks in the hoses, ontop of that when I'm doing heavy gaming I can feel some heat coming from the exhaust of my radiator. All these programs just have me worried that my cpu temps are high before I'm even doing anything, apparently it's at 45 degrees after just booting up.

The rest of my build is as follows:
Deepcool Tesseract case (has really good airflow)
2 corsair af120mm fans blowing intake from top of case down
Amd A10 7860K cpu
Gigabyte GA-F2A68HM-H Motherboard
EVGA 500 80 plus bronze psu
2x4gb G skillz Ripjaws 1600mhz ram
Gigabyte gtx 750ti gpu
WD 1tb HDD

Oh i see, yes the motherboard is usually much more accurate especially that corsair link, HWmonitor and Speedfan are not optimized for AMD APUs if you want to check your temperatures you will need to check through AMD Overdrive or the motherboard Bios. I've had that with my A10 7700k :)
Thanks for the reply, my worry is that I get those temps from those programs when I'm just idling in windows, even within a minute or two of booting up my computer.

Ah I think the issue is with the poor optimization of temp monitor programs with amd apu's, with Amd Overdrive it gives me a measure of thermal margin and is between 66 and 70 degrees celcius. It is my understanding from an article on here that thermal margin isn't the temperature of the cpu but how far below the maximum operating temperature it is at. If this is the case then I guess everything is working perfectly.

Thank you for your help.
