Speccy has been reporting very high temperatures for me and I wonder if anyone knows why.
I build systems as a hobby/small business.
Recently, I have been using AMD APU's paired with Gigabyte motherboards and Corsair vengeance RAM, Windows 10 64 Bit
The APU's I have been using are: AMD A8-7670k, A8-6600k Black edition, A6-6400k Black edition
Motherboards used are: Gigabyte GA-F2A88XM-D3H and F2A88XM-HD3
All the systems built with any combination of the above show high temps, 50 to 60 degrees C at idle and 70 to 100 degrees C under load. I am convinced that these temps are incorrect, just feeling the heatsink with my hand leads me to this conclusion. HW Monitor also shows very high temps as do most other utilities. Interestingly, AMD overdrive software shows temps as expected (40 to 45 C at idle and 60 to 65 under heavy load).
Things that have made no difference to Speccy high readings are: thermal paste (I always use quality), fans (stock or higher quality make absolutely no difference) - please don't reply with the usual thermal paste and fan suggestions and yes, they are always connected correctly to Mobo.
Can anyone tell me why Speccy is showing such high temps with multiple brand new AMD APU's? - My intel i3, i5, i7 systems always show fine BTW
