Should i be worried my fm2 processor reads zero degrees

lastcalaveras · Nov 24, 2012, 11:34 AM

I've been overclocking with AMD Processors from Athlon x2, Phenom x4, Phenom 2 x4, Athlon 2 x4, Phenom 2 x6 and FX 8150, but I've never had any of those processor read 0 degrees celcius @ idle. Is my motherboard broken or the sensors broken or whatever the reason may be should I be worried.

try using another temp monitoring program like core temp?

Frick · Nov 24, 2012, 11:43 AM

It doesn't read the temp at all. As said, try other programs (AIDA64, CpuID HWMonitor or whatever).

lastcalaveras · Nov 24, 2012, 11:46 AM

same thing still 0 degree

BarbaricSoul · Nov 24, 2012, 11:55 AM

get the newer version of core temp. That .99 version you have may not support your FM2 apu. http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/

lastcalaveras · Nov 24, 2012, 12:05 PM

now on aida and core temp updated

BarbaricSoul · Nov 24, 2012, 12:13 PM

Dang, never seen that before. It's up to you, you could try to RMA it or just keep it and use it as is.

Does FM2 have core unlock (ACC) or Unleashed mode on them? These are known to not be able to read the temps. Check your bios first before RMA.

0 at idle is fine, as long as it increases during load. I guess I'm one of the few people here with chips.

Personally, I think they temp sensor relates degrees above ambient, or how many degrees temp has gone up, but not the actual temp of the CPU.

Temps are only important at high load, near the throttle point.

Mine does the same thing I wouldn't worry too much about it.
