AMD Temps Troubling

[sgottoms]

Hey! So i finally got my pc up and running with the help ofc of a person (he teched me the ropes lol). All is well until the cpu fan that was included in the cpu box has a hard time spinning. So my freind recommended me to replace the fan with something else. So, I said yes fully trusting his judgement in everything. So he replaced it with some weird ass fan that i have not seen before (I'll provide some pictures). ofc it runs and the fan is spinning. I thought i can finally use it without any problems. Until I installed speecy on my computer. And I saw the cpu temp the temperature reached a whopping 90 degrees (I'm browsing at that time). That can't be right so I went ahead and looked at other cpu monitoring software. Hwmonitor, Coretemp and even Overdrive.



This is the result:

Different software different results



The weird ass fan:

Oh, And my freind said that he did not apply a thermal paste. He said that's not the problem why my CPU has a High Temp.

Touched the heat sink of the cpu it doesn't feel like a 90 degree temp.
No problem when using it tho. No random shutdown and no signs of slowing either
This is troubling me, I'm so afraid that if I continue using my PC it will burn. And I don't want that to happen. I just bought this man

What are your 100% load 'temperatures' like? For reference: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/faq/id-2122665/understanding-temperature-amd-cpus-apus.html

For those particular lines of AMD CPUs you should be using Overdrive to monitor thermal margins (and perhaps cross referencing with a normal temperature reading from another software if you want). As long as the thermal margin is above 0 deg C on a full load there isn't anything to worry about. Use Overdrive's inbuilt stress tester if necessary.

So the higher the margin the better the temps? I'm getting like a 60 degree margin

Correct. The higher the thermal margin the cooler the processor is.

Is that reading on idle or full load? As long as it's a positive value on full load you're fine.

On ilde. However I dont know how to run the stress test here in overdrive? Want to know what my margin on full load

 

[Obakasama]

Been a while since I've used Overdrive but there should be a tab (or similar) which allows a basic stress test. The interface should look something like this:

Go to Stability Test on the left hand side and it'll give you options to put on a full load to check your thermal margins.

You said your friend did not apply thermal paste? That absolutely is an issue in my opinion. You need that to help provide good contact between the cpu and cooler. Unless the cooler came with some pre applied.
