Hello everyone,
I have recently built a PC for use during my work breaks. It consists mainly of parts that I could get for free from damaged customer PCs. I added an Athlon II X4 750k which I bought for half the price and an MSI FM2-A85XA-G65. The PSU is a 1000W OEM-branded Superflower unit and I use a CM Hyper 212 Evo as heatsink. My intention was to have an overclockable system so that I could make it a project and learn something new.
The problem that I am currently having is that I do not know where to get a program that gives me accurate temperature readings. Each program gives me different temperatures which is really confusing, to say the least.
What do you guys use? I would also be thankful for general hints regarding AMD OCing, what to be wary of and the likes.
The attached picture shows some temp readings while running prime95 large inplace FFTs and Furmark for 10 minutes, case closed, with 30+C° ambient (it's hot in here).
