Got a new motherboard and cpu to replace the old blown out ones in a HTPC. One problem I noticed is that the CPU fan runs at max speed, and it's noisy. Checked the temperature of the CPU in the bios and it reads 36C. No problems there. Called MSI tech and they had me install Speccy to see the CPU temp. It reports 70C. WTF?
Looking deeper HWiNFO64 shows two temps. One low at 19C, and one high like 70C. The MSI guy believes somethings wrong with the AMD chip, but can this happen? I know the thermal compound is correct, and the heatsink is sitting on it just fine. Put my hands around it and feel nothing hot anywhere.
