CPU Is Really Cold?....

[alannm37]

Hi There,

I am bit worried as my AMD FX-6300 is running at 9°C (48.2°F).... How could this be possible?

Stress testing it never goes more than 45°C on Advanced Warfare.... Does it mean the CPU is not using it's maximum potential? I can play the game with maximum settings 1080p locked at 91FPS (As it's the FPS lock in the game).

Programs used in monitoring: HWInfo, HWMonitor, Core Temp, SpeedFan & Speccy!

Note: All Is With Stock Cooler!

When it shows that the CPu is running at 9 C that is probably the inaccuracy of the sensor. I think it's an issue with AMD processors. As far as 45C during game play I think it's possible if the CPU usage is not that high and it's not overclocked either. But once again the sensors or programs might not be getting the right numbers for you. It sounds almost impossible now that I know it's on a stock cooler

Unless your room temp is below zero, you're getting incorrect readings. Use AMD overdfrive to check your temps

I am wondering though, how could 5 Programs gave the same readings? AMD OverDrive is very confusing, would you be able to provide a picture showing what I should be looking at?

5 Programs can give the same readings if they all get their info from the same sensor compared to some other programs.
