FX-6300 & HWMonitor Readings

[JP20Boss]

So I have an FX-6300 @ 4.02GHz and I'm using HWMonitor to check the temperatures. I've been all over the forums trying to get a definite answer about this but I guess I'm still having trouble understanding. The max temps here are the result of playing for about 25-30 minutes on Battlefield 3 at nearly maxed settings. Are these temperatures safe? I understand the FX cores have wonky sensors or something and I'm not sure which of these readings is the socket or exactly how the socket temperature will relate to the CPU temperature.

What I understood from the pic, that the temps are just fine on load, nothing to be worried about.

I think TMPIN0/1/2 are the cores of the CPU and AMD FX-6300(Package) is the main CPU.

And I think the readings are just fine not abnormal, all the censors of MB/CPU are working fine.

When a CPU gets hot the cores gets hot too this is also normal.

I believe lonewolf7 identified them correctly.

The official max temp of the FX processors are 62c on the core and 70c on the socket. I would get an aftermarket CPU cooler if I were you, to reduce the temperatures.

You need a better cooling option.

Pardon the delay and thanks for your responses I'll be fitting a CM Hyper 212 Evo for cooling soon.

Btw I know theres a lot of confusion on what the TMPIN0/1/2 are, as it differs between motherboards. I found out by downloading HWINFO. It gives a very detailed information of every component on your computer and will tell you exactly what tmpin0 1 2 are.

Thanks for the tip 😀 I'll go ahead and download that and see what I find
