AMD fx-4350 low temps

[beaurelic]

hello

i just finished building my new pc and i might have a OP cpu cooler (scythe mugen 3)
and i get these realy low temps is this even healthy?

No, in fact it's not even possible. For idle temps it's probably better to check your bios.

Idle temps mean nothing in the end, try to run some stress tests and check again.

for proper temp readings (as most temperature programs read the wrong sensor for AMD) download AMD Overdrive.

i just checked the bios its 12c and how should i do the stress tests im new to this

Erhm, just wondering but what's the temp like in your house? Cause CPU temps can't go below ambient with air- or watercooling.

at that time it was around 12c but its now around 25 and the cpu is 20c

Download amd overdrive as said above.

That's impossible. I've heard this is apparently a problem on the AMD platform (I don't personally own an AMD pc). Have you tried what barnsley suggested? He has an AMD CPU so I'm assuming he knows what he's doing better than I am

We had a thread on this not tooo long ago, might be worth to read through that (don't post though):

This is what you need:

Its as accurate as you can get for AMD cpus.

+This AMD stuff hardly ever reads right, I always used to think of things like HWmonitor as a reference tool rather than accurate temps!
