Amd fx-8350 temperature confusion

[Marc_11]

I'm not sure what themperture my cpu is running because of all kinds of different readings. And i need some help on which readings are false and which ones are not.

Download and overdrive to moniter the chips thermal margin (how far it is from shutdown) I'd by far the most accurate way

Note I do not mean catalyst control centre or any other GPU driver's it is a separate software called and overdrive

Use AMD's own OVERDRIVE software. It's the only accurate software for FX-chips. It will show the 'Thermal margin'.
The thermal margin is the temperature gap between the current temp and the temp limit. I believe the limit for the 8350 is 75c, after that it will shut down to protect it self, that unless you have the setting disabled in the BIOS.
If the thermal margin value on OVERDRIVE is showing for example, 20c, that means the temp is 75c-20c=55c.

CPU Highest temps detected by the software: 47c (probably LOAD)
CPU Lowest temps detected by the software: 18c (probably IDLE)
Very nice temps
