Temp reading backwards

blueknight1960 · May 25, 2016

Hi all, I have a friend who just got a pre-built AMD cpu desktop computer. I noticed that the idle temp is around 55-64 c. I installed the intel burn test and when run, the temp drops down to about 34 c and when the test is stopped,it goes back to 55-64 c. I was thinking a connection for the temp reading is connected wrong? I'm not sure how to correct this. Any help would be appreciated.

you are using amd overdrive, it shows how many degrees until you reach the max temp of the processor.

Thanks for the reply. Guess it would make too much sense for amd to do it the normal way.

There are a couple programs that do it that way, actually. Realtemp (for Intel) shows both.

EDIT: I personally like seeing it that way as without, you have no idea (without researching) what the limit is/how far you have to go.

Once again it's not my computer, I was looking for a friend. But I appreciate the feedback.

Once again? BK, it doesn't matter who's computer it is... I answered a generic question with a generic answer...computer ownership agnostic.
