I think my CPU is too hot

[Jordy_4]

Hello,

I was curious about the temperature of my CPU (AMD A8-7600). I installed HWMonitor and noticed that is was very high.

when i went to look for other software (maybe this one wasn't good) i installed Core Temp.
This program says something else.

In the toolbar Core temp says that all my cores when i browse are max 30 degrees.

I have no idea what program to believe. I'd like to know if my processor is having a good temperature.

Core Temp looks more reliable.

Try using HWInfo64 https://www.hwinfo.com/download.php

I've had HWMonitor tell me my processor was running at 9GHz before, so I wouldn't trust it.

What is the CPU (Tctl) and what is the CPU Package,

does the package mean the temp of all my 4 cores so if u divide the (in this case) 74.1 : 4 = 18,5 degrees per core?

It's likely the average between all 4 cores. It's still unusually hot though. Maybe use AMD Overdrive. It's suppose to give you a thermal margin (distance from max temp) instead of the actual temp.

So if overdrive says 30 thermal margin the temp is 40 degrees?
Because of the max is 70?

Correct.
