FX6300 temps (H100i)

[Eyedeology]

Hello Toms,

I've been playing with my 6300 and am currently stable at 4.5ghz.

The trouble is, I am getting different temp readings depending on which software I use.

I have Core Temp, Corsair Link, AMD Overdrive, and ASRock Extreme Tuner installed, and I've typically used ASRock as my guidelines as it has the most accurate idle temps (29-33c) whereas the other programs give me false readings as typical of Vishera chips.

Currently while running P95, I am at
50c on: Corsair Link, AMD Overdrive, and Core Temp. On ASRock, I am at 64c. Is ASRock giving faulty readings, or should I dismiss what it is saying?

H100i currently on quiet mode. When switched to performance mode, all temps drop.

Thanks,

Eyedeology



EDIT: HWMonitor Pro is giving the same readings as the other three. It seems only Extreme Tuner is out of sync

Try HWMonitor Pro

I think I would believe the Asrock util. Prime puts more load on a CPU than it will ever see in normal use so temps are bound to be a little high. I have used core temp and there you can set offset to calibrate against BIOS. Core temp showed 22°C BIOS 34°C on startup, offset set at 12° and they show same, I knew BIOS was right I live in south FL with room temp around 26°C.

Whatever happens always trust your bios readings. Some thermal paste's take long time to act ~4months so dont worry.
I usually get 60C on p95. I have a fx6100 and on load(gaming) it goes 50c max.
