I recently upgraded my computer with an AMD FX-8320 processor, an ASRock 970 Pro3 R2.0 and a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo cooler. I'm really happy with it, it's an amazing improvement over the a4-5300 APU I had before.
However, I feel that the on-die temperatures being reported are inaccurate. My ASRock motherboard utility reports idling temperatures of 45 degrees, which is unusually high. However, AMD overdrive, speccy and HWmonitor all report idle temperatures of 25-30 degrees celcius.
Of course this seems normal, but even when I clock the processor up to 3.7-3.9 GHz and run prime95, the temperature doesn't ever go above 43 degrees, even when I have the fans set to below 1000rpm. With my 3 case fans running at their maximum speed, and the CPU fans running at their maximum speed, the temperature doesn't even go above 40 degrees. Are these temperatures accurate and should I be over the moon or are the temperatures not being reported correctly?
