AMD APU Temperatures

Bios reading = true temp @ 100% CPU voltage/clock

CoreTemp = downclocked/downvolted temp
Speccy = load CPU temp with proper volt/clock.


Imagine this.

Bios reading = Bucket with a cup of water (1 LB)
Core Temp = Half a Bucket with a cup of water (1/2 LB)
Speccy Temp = Bucket half full with water (2.5 LB)

Amd overdrive seems to be the most acurate but it shows thermal margin which is how far from max you are

>>61490478
when are the Zen APUs coming up?

>>61490478
I'm getting reasonable temp reading on speedfan

>>61491274
oh and I have an A8-6600k

>>61490581
this makes no sense, I would ignore it

>>61490581
What

So, why the APUs have this problem?

>>61490478
mobo is most likely to be correct.

AMD Overdrive

Thermal margin explained:
Basically it's how many degrees are left until you reach 100C° (tjunction) and your processor either forces itself off or throttles it's clock frequency in order to prevent thermal damage.

You want to keep this to at least 25C°, anything below this and it's getting close to tjunction.

Because AMD's engineers are fucking weird. FX CPU's have retarded temperature readings too, and Ryzen had that 20 degree offset which still makes no sense to me at all. The fan curve excuse makes no sense considering AMD themselves provided specs for the motherboards.
