I helped someone else with the same issue but i cant seem to find it again...

Have a look at [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] to help your PC along

Also, if your PC is on the floor, move it on a desk as the lower the pc is, the more dust there is which could be collecting in your PC

What motherboard do you have? Your temps may be fine, but I need to determine what each reading actually is.

Tjunction: This is the average temperature of all of the cores and the Northbridge. Don't let it go above 79 C.

Make sure the program you're using is measuring these values correctly and labeling them correctly. The 62 C max AMD recommends is very cautious and it's not specified which sensor this max is for.

Your idle should also not be that high, so make sure you're reading the temps correctly.

Alright, thanks. That means...

TMPIN0 = The motherboard PCB (system) temp
TMPIN1 = CPU socket
TMPIN2 = Motherboard Chipset

The package temp should be the Tcore.

If these are load temps, they're fine. If they're correctly-taken idle temps, they're high.

Use OCCT to stress-test your CPU. It has HWMonitor built-in.
