CPU temp issue;

[emnetsi]

hi all,

i recently installed cpuid hw monitor when i noticed that one day my cpu fan was way too loud, since then im worried about my cpus temps. its a fairly new x4 750k with its stock cooler; now the problem is that the temps in hw monitor and the temps in my bios software for windows are radically different. in my bios software its circa 55 degrees celsius at full load whilst the "cpu package" temp , the only one in hw monitor, peaks at 84 degrees which is abnormal and even critical. the question is which one is the correct one and should i be worried? also i should mention that under temperatures under mobo are the same as the ones in the bios software, those temps are right below the cpus fan measuring in the mobo section. thanks in advance ppl

BIOS temps are highly inaccurate, HW monitor temps are much better. Your temps are very hot, is it constant at around that range or just peaks at that range? Upto 70C (65C is recommended ideal full load though) is ok. Have you played with fan speed settings?

hi and thanks for the answer on such short notice, well according to hw monitor at idle it stays around 52 degrees but it spikes literally everytime i do something on my pc; for example i open up my web browser it spikes at around 68 degrees. if im playing games its constantly around 78 degrees; btw i havent played with my fan speed

edit i will upload a screenshot now

Those are really high temps, its not supposed to go over 70C. What is the CPU usage while idle? If its in 1-10% range, then its really idling, but if its anything higher, you might have a virus. Also, you might need to reapply thermal compound.

the only thing that bugs me is the package temp, the other temperatures are almost identical to the ones found in bios;

edit 1 also not sure if i should mention this but neither speedfan nor coretemp work on my computer; speedfan dosnt recognize the cpu and coretemps says that the temps are 0 degrees celsius

Package temp is essentially what we're looking for in CPU temps, that matters. Forget MoBo, check again from different programs like Core Temp, etc.

 

[emnetsi]

im unsure if the reason for that is a faulty cpu or something like that, but no, neither coretemp nor speedfan work for me

What does it say?

Amazing, seems like a fualty sensor to me.

im not sure if my os has something to do with it; i thought about formatting and installing a fresh os but im not sure if that would do the trick. also my pc never shut down in recent history, or ever as long as i can remember; shouldn't it automatically power off should the temperatures reach levels around 80 degrees celsius?

I don't mean faulty CPU, but the temp sensor is faulty. Yes it'd shut down if on really high temps.

 

[emnetsi]

i didnt think you meant that the cpu is faulty anyways thanks for the help mate, ill assume that the sensors are just faulty since it never did shut down, and ill also assume that the bios temps are actually correct and if anything happens oh well ill replace the might be damaged parts

Right, glad to help
