yes, core temp max is displayed as 42c, add 12c to that to get the core temps with this cpu.

I was starting to get the feeling it was about time to go into bios, and I thought racing filled my brain with junk and destroyed my life.
you lucky *******, i only have one and he is three.

have set my core speed, multiplyer and voltage in bios, running prime95 large fft, now my core run 2800-4000 and it will be 4 at 2800 then the same 4 at 4000, what have i screwed up?

more that i have learned.
#? i can use amd overdrive to monitor my system when overclocking but, turbo core is enabled as default. turbo core MUST be turned off or it will confuse the computer and me to no end and cause many what are called bsds.

I have decided to start ALL OVER, bios reset to factory defaults, no clocks and will run prime 95 'blend' for 17 hours (give or take). This will tell me if I even have a starting point for a good solid overclocking machine or a true rickshaw.

I have gathered both manuals today.
i also found on that site a supported cpu list and a spec sheet and here is what i found on those.
my processor is not on the supported list.
the board socket is listed as am3, and my processor is listed as am3+
do I need to be concerned at this point with these issues?
thank you very much psykoikonov and trents

Okay, having re-read the entire thread and getting A-retentive as I often do, I found this. It is the only temp monitoring software that I have found that "specifically" addresses the 15h, bulldozer family of cpus. I take that back since I know that HWMonitor in version 1.8.5 which was released specifically for AMD FX processor reviewers and was available for download for such reviewers for review at the release of AMD FX processor. Note: I do not pay any attention to the idle temps of the processor as we are not worried about idle temps. Most sensors are very inaccurate at idle since they are designed to indicate approach of high temps for cpu throttle back or shutdown.
•Added support for AMD family 12h (Llano) and 15h (Bulldozer) CPUs.
I have downloaded and unzipped and run OpenHardwareMonitor on my Intel mobo that I am very very familiar with and its' readings. Due the fact that OHMonitor is adjustable in its' freeware version and is accurate against other familiar readings...I will be swapping to OHMonitor.
Perhaps since it says it supports 15h Bulldozer/FX processors, perhaps it will read Max Temps of FX processors more accurately. Only some of you with an FX processor can tell or try to tell.

monitors
I'm willing, I am just learning to use my bios and make adjustments there.
what would you like me to do?

Not really necessary that you do anything. I just was looking for a temp monitor that may work better for FX processor. You have FX processor so download OpenHardwareMonitor and see if it seems more accurate at full load under Prime95.
That is all.
Oh it is not using an installer so wherever you download to just make a shortcut to the executable (after unzip) and put shortcut on desktop and click shortcut to open/initiate the program.

monitors
Rgone, i use amd overdrive to monitor cpu temps and also hardware monitor. i feel at this point in this thread that amd overdrive monitors core temps and hardware monitor displays socket temps, i will make a pull tonight with all three open and post the screen shot.
on my 955 machine both of these monitors agree
on my fx8120 machine harware monitor reads 12c lower, as you can see in the screensots i have already posted.
