Is my cpu running too hot

[Kalieb Polk]

I need to know if my cpu and gpu are running too hot.

It only shows the cfpu temp - 101C if it is to be believed. Vcore looks OK and the cpu fan is running at 3500rpm.

You mustn't have your cooler on properly. Re-do the thermal paste now.

That reading is false, it would start throttling at 72°

What is your thermal margin as reported by AMD overdrive?

 

[Smallfilou]

No, something is terribly wrong with this build. It says T° max=120°C! Can it be that your CPU fan is actually attached to another header on your mb, and that the mb is pushing another fan to max, believing it is CPU fan? Or there is still something between the cooler and the CPU...

Actually TMPIN3 (GPU/VRM) is really really high as well. How do you cool your system, or do you have your computer sitting in front of a window looking towards south... in the middle of death valley?

wish you luck

as soon as i downloaded the drivers for my graphics card the amd program that had overdrive said it wouldnt work without the amd drivers

Guys, im not sure about this computer, my friend gave it to me, and its been running fine for a year now, but i just put a new graphics card in it, and it doesnt sound louder, or feel hotter, but i still wanted to check it out. For some reason, i cant get accurate reads on anything lol

Can you see your cpu temps in your mobo uefi software?

If not, can you download and run HWInfo - Sensors and post the results - 3 screenshots usually.

It will give a lot more info and more reliable too.

Edit - oh - and post your complete and detailed build too please.

after further review, it turns out i had the computer set to overclock mode on the one click overdrive button when you hit f2 at the start of the computer boot up, it has 3 buttons, power saver, normal, and boost. I clicked power saver, and now it looks like this

Well, I'd say you should first check if your fans are attached to the right ports on the MB.
Then you may want to check if that PSU supports the load of that GPU. And in the end, you may as well look into the way the GPU cools itself...
BTW, installing AMD drivers never killed anybody ;-) as far as I know, I suggest you do it as well... Maybe you do need to unistall before reinstalling, but you should give it a try...

 

[Kalieb Polk]

oh ya, my power supply is 750 watt, i checked that way before i bought the card

 

[Kalieb Polk]

its a asustek f2a85 v pro motherboard, and 750watt powersuply and the cpu and gpu are in the thing above

 

[Smallfilou]

And you did connect your PSU cables to the graphics card (6 or 8 pin 12V cables?). That just to check, because that would explain why your VRMs run so hot and why you can't install your GPU properly.

 

[Kalieb Polk]

no, the gpu is running fine, im just wondering of my cpu and gpu are in danger of overheating.

 

[Kalieb Polk]

The performance of the machine isnt the question, im playing Watch Dogs at high textures and the rest of the stuff on ultra or high as well, and its not lagging, and im getting steady fps. Thats not the issue. Im just worried about heat.

im not very computer tech savy. I need step by step help lol

heres this, its that program i was told to use with 3 pics or some crap hwinfo

I own the same CPU, the package temp in HWinfo is not accurate. If it were, you would have severe throttling while gaming and you don't.

I'm using an A10-6800k with a very similar nvidia GPU (GTX 670) and AMD overdrive still reports CPU readings no problem, so I'm not sure why it wouldn't work for you too. Here is a guide to understanding temperatures with AMD, and why third party software can be unreliable:

That wasn't the Sensors info. It was the Summary.
