Weird readings from HWMonitor

Eaglake · Nov 3, 2013

Hi.
I have a little problem with build, for my friend.
Everything I want to say is in picture.

For the CPU temperatures I've used variety of programs all show the same. Thought I haven't checked on voltages...

I've want to know how to fix this, is it dangerous?

Systems specs:
CPU: AMD FX-6300
MB: GA-78LMT-USB3
GPU: Gigabyte Radeon 7790
RAM: Corsair XMS3 1600MHz CL8
PSU: Fortron FSP400-60APN 400W

I would appreciate your input

Software is notorious for being inaccurate with PSU voltage readings like this. If these readings were real, then I'd bet that his computer wouldn't even be able to turn on. Either that, or he'd be having some major problems.

Well yes I also was thinking the same, that with that kind of voltages it wouldn't run.

Actually what bothers me more is CPU temperature

Oh yeah, I've seen AMD temp readings like that posted on here before (just just once or twice either). I don't know if it's normal, but I suppose that it could be, but I don't know for sure.

That is just normal gigabyte and CPUID HWmonitor interaction. Get HWINFO64. And AMD temps are not accurate until 30C or better.

Here is a comparison.

Most of these temperature monitors operate by reading the distance from TJMAX and doing some math. The standard formula is (TJMAX - Distance from TJMAX) = Temperature.

If your temperature monitoring software has inaccurate numbers input for the TJMAX, then it can't read accurately for you.

Well it shows these temperatures also in CoreTemp, and some other temp monitoring softwares (which I can't remmember at the moment.)
SpeedFan didn't show CPU at all.

So HWInfo should show me somewhat correct readings under load. Ok I'll try that

Pheww
So a little under load and temperature seems to be showing normal numbers

Thanks guys for help. I honestly thought something was terribly wrong. cuz this was my first AMD build and I was experimenting.
Actually For the price for the rig... it runs just awesome

CPUID HW monitor gives me a headache,,i never use it any more,,,i use "open hardware monitor",,,CPUID HW monitor doesn't do well with AI suite II either,,your in good shape,,don't worry,,,its just the software

Idle.

Same MOBO similar set up, what GHz is the computer running?
