Is my APU AMD A6 7400k getting too much temperature?

[Lorenn]

Hi, a few weeks ago I noticed my apu is getting high temps both idling and processing acording to HWMonitor. It's about 3 months old, stock cooler. It came with 1 pin not completely straight, I don't know if maybe it can be the reason. Also when I placed the cooler on top of the processor I had problems locking it and it slided over the apu (don't know if that messed up the thermal compound). With the turbo mode It reached 99ºC while playing BF3, (graphics low, res 1280x720). Acording to Amd, the apu's max temp is 74ºC I think. Also it says that the GPU (integrated in the APU) is at -4ºC.
Specs:
Motherboard: GIGABYTE F2A68HM-DS2H
Processor: AMD A6 7400k 3.5GHz (3.9 turbo). Stock cooler.
RAM: 1x4GB Kingston HyperX Fury 1866MHz
HDD: WD Blue 360GB 5400RPM
Stock case, no airflow, but I have it without the cover(i can't reach the word, I mean the case walls)


Running Battlefield 3 for less than 10 min (and Firefox):

Idling with mozilla only:

Thank you very much!

probobly bad temp sensors your gpu cant be on-4...

Thanks for answering.
So you think that those are not the real temps? I tried with another sofware too, Speccy and Open hardware monitor.
In the bios I raised the fan rpm per degree a bit and now i'm getting max 80-85ºC in full load. But still unstable idling or in normal load, varies from 40ºC to 65-70ºC.

Very weird... is your pc or room in a freezer? 😀

If not then the sensors are wrong it cant say -4 and 85c at times. That is just not possible except if you have cpu watercooling

Could be that the GPU sensors are that way because it's an apu? I don't have another gpu than the integrated in the apu. Maybe the cpu temps are real, are them too bad?

85c is too bad yes until 68 i believe its normal

Kaveri APUs really need a proper CPU cooler. Otherwise neither the CPU, neither the iGPU will Turbo boost and you're basically loosing performance.

Yeah.. i would get a cm hyper 212 evo

Ok thanks everyone for answering, I will try to replace the stock cooler. Salutes
