AMD A6-4400M APU has a really high temp (100°C+)

As you can see in the img I'm having higher temperatures in my APU and I don't know why this is happening. How I fix this?

hmm, that's a laptop so not much can be done.

I believe that temp is wrong, try using CoreTemp.

I have an A6-3420M in my laptop and it is running hot as heck. 90C as I'm typing this message, and the only things I've done was watch a stream on medium quality for 15minutes. These APUs sure heat up in laptops... but they claim max operating tempearature to be 100C.

So what's the idle temp?

The idle temp is 50C, and then starts slowly climbing to 60C and will settle at 70C. These APUs run extremely hot and the fact that I have a broken fan sensor in my laptop doens't help at all.

LOL, don't use speccy for APUs or you might poop yourself worrying

Use CPU socket temperatures and AMD overdrive: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/faq/id-2122665/understanding-temperature-amd-cpus-apus.html

CoreTemp is reliable, as soon as my APU hits 100C my laptop isntantly closes down, in line with the maximun operation temp of 100C. But other software might be faulty.
