Hey
Can anyone tell me if the CORE TEMPS are ok?
The CPU is on idle, when is on load, for example when i´m playing BF3, they reach (Core Temp) 32ºC - 35ºC.
Is that alright?

493

Edit: i´m on stock cooler.

Those temperatures seem to be too low for load times.. i generally idle around those temps

But that is CORE temp and not CPU temp, The CPU temp is always higher than CORE temp, right?
What is the normal temps for the CPU Core? i´m on AMD FX.

Run prime95 or similar stress program for 30 minutes or longer, then you will see the real max temp your CPU will reach.

With AMD core temp max is 62c, preferable to stay under mid 50's. CPU temp will usually be 7-10c higher than core.

I have this already done, the max core temp is 47ºC and the max CPU temp is 55ºC.
Is that ok?

Very good thumb.gif. If you are at stock you probably don't have much room for overclocking though. Get a good cooler and take that baby over 4.5ghz. biggrin.gif

The weirdly low temps at idle is because core temps are only accurate at 40c+.
