AMD fx-1820 reports a temperature of 9 degrees C, seems too low to be real
3 replies, posted
This cpu was from my previous computer that I had switched from because this same cpu was continuously overheating past 90C. I set up a server with it now recently, as I was building with spare parts, and underclocked the CPU a bit while disabling turbo boosting/etc. I attached it to a used closed loop water cooler. the whole setup is in a basement where the air is a bit cold.
However, with medium usage, im seeing temps of 9 to 10 degrees C with both core temp and HWmonitor, which seems ridiculous for a bulldozer chip. could something be causing this?
for comparison, my hard drive reports ~20C and my ATI radeon (fanless) card reports 80C
bulldozer CPU's are known to have wonky temperature sensors especially below 45C assuming the water cooling loop is working as it should it should be fine
Well, your Temperature will never be below abient temperature with water/air cooling. So unless your server is in an enviourment below that, then you know it can’t be right.

HM monitor sometimes has problems with monitoring the wrong value or the Delta T instead of T.
Try finding the temperature in the BIOS or try Coretemp/Intel® Extreme Tuning Utility
