AMD Overdrive questions

erek · Nov 6, 2011

how accurate is AMD Overdrive at monitoring? my AMD FX 8120 is reading low 20 C across all cores, but this seems a little low...

also, what does that green button near "preferences" serve to do? i clicked it but don't know what it does...

At 24.5 C that would be about 76 F. Unless your liquid cooling I think that is probably reporting wrong.

Yes it is. Core sensors at idle are inaccurate. Use the latest HWMonitor and use the readings from CPU temp.
