I can't monitor temperature of my AMD athlon x4 760k

[Jessy Truong]

The only way that I can see my temperature is going into BIOS, but I want to monitor temperature without BIOS. I have tried Speedfan, Core temp, and hardware monitor but it says my cpu isn't compatible. Is there a way to monitor my temps?

Have you tried HWMonitor?

 

[KungKarlXVI]

some cpu-temp monitoring programs are not compatible with amd cpu's, and some might be needing a update, try "core temp" it works with almost all amd cpu's.

AMD Overdrive, if you have a Radeon GPU.

What motherboard do you have? There may be some native software to allow you to monitor the temperatures provided in the BIOS, on your desktop.

Do not waste your time.
I have the same CPU as yours. In every software program it says I have more than 105º (idle) while on the BIOS it says is 30-40º (idle).
The temperature measuring is not working properly in these chips. Got exactly same issue with a x4 740.

I have the same cpu with the same issue. In HWMonitor, under the "AMD Athlon X4" dropdown section, the "package temperature" reads as ~105C while under load with a moderate OC. Without an OC, it runs ~90C at load. Both values seem pretty hot right, but why I am I actually able to touch the main block of the CPU cooler without burning myself? (I have a CM TPC 612 cooler) On my MSi A88XM Gaming mobo there are three other temperature sensors which are under a different dropdown section in HWMonitor. For me, these are: TMPIN0, TMPIN1, and TMPIN2. After some adjustments to the auto CPU fan profile in the BIOS, I have figured out that the temperature shown in the BIOS is labelled as TMPIN0 in HWMonitor. Messing around with OC's also proves my point, where non-OCed at load is ~47C and OCed at load is ~55C. Idle temps are ~35C for everything.

The "at load" parts were tested with IntelBurnTest and the clocks specified were with the stock 3.8GHz and an OC of 4.4GHz.
