After having had lm_sensors tell me I could boil some tea on it I checked in the bios - which tells me that the CPU is running at indeed that temperature. Perhaps I should get some proper heat thingamijig paste and watch a few youtube videos... Will report back once that is done.
System freezes and crashes
If your PC crashes or shuts down randomly, it might not be a hardware or software defect. A system that runs too hot may turn off automatically to prevent long-term physical damage from the heat. The max temperature at which a PC is allowed to run can be set in the BIOS.
This thermometer feature is part of the core software of your motherboard. Unfortunately, it only allows you to check the current temperature of the PC. It does nothing to monitor the temperature over time as you use Windows, particularly when your PC or laptop is busy with heavy loads.
If the four numbers are too crowded, you can display only the highest temperature of any of the cores. Within the Core Temp app, click Options > Settings and navigate to the Notification Area. Switch the view to Highest temperature per processor.
Click the Settings icon and select the Monitoring tab. Scroll to CPU temperature in the list. Click it, then enable Show in On-Screen Display.
Turn off background applications and close programs: Use a dedicated tune-up tool like Avast Cleanup. Its built-in Sleep Mode automatically puts resource-draining apps and programs to sleep, reducing the load on your system and lowering CPU temperatures. Avast Cleanup will also clear unnecessary junk from your PC, keeping your system running like new. Try Avast Cleanup for free today.
AMD System Monitor keeps track of CPU and GPU temperatures. AMD software can also track a whole range of metrics across a period of time, like FPS (frames per second), CPU power consumption, GPU utilization (percentage), and GPU power consumption.
The CPU over temperature error happens when the CPU has reached a critical temperature, sometimes causing the PC to shut down. You may be getting this error message for one or more of the following reasons:
To make sure your software is giving you an accurate reading you could compare the results with those of another temperature monitoring application. There are several free lightweight tools to monitor your CPU temperature, one of which is Core Temp.
It would be advisable to check your heat sink to see if it has been dislodged, or that the thermal paste is still connecting the heat sink to the CPU, as running your CPU at that temp is sure to cause damage in the long run.
You're well into the range that can cause permanent damage to the CPU. Most consumer electronics (including CPUs) are not designed to operate above 85 C for any extended period of time, and most will actually shut down when they get over about 100-105 C. Provided you have a working (and properly sized) cooling system and are not somewhere with unusually high temperatures to begin with (40 C or higher), you should not be seeing temperatures that high no matter how hard you push the CPU.
However, I'm inclined to believe something is wrong with your system due to that insane discrepancy between reported package and core temperatures. In particular, the possibilities that come to mind are:
CPU core temperatures of more than 110 degrees is too high and make the processor stop working. If really temp is over 110 degrees system will likely crash and there could be nasty situation. HWMonitor is showing incorrect values.
Go to your BIOS and check temperatures there, and if BIOS also says nothing this could be indicative that your Motherboard dosen't have any temperature sensors, thus explaining why HWMonitor is showing strange values.
Your CPU temperature is reaching its very maximum. I think, any PC component having temperature over 100C is too much for extended period of time. It is recommended to keep it under 80C in the long run, 60-something is even better.
The iGPU (Radeon R6) temp of 66C appears to be much more believable. Since this matches the "Package Temp" then I would surmise that your actual temp is 66C since the CPU cores and iGPU are in the same housing.
Given the fact that your cores are all running well above the stock 1900 MHz and one of them running near the max 3200 MHz turbo, it tells me that the temperatures are not affecting performance. If you're temperatures were too high then your CPU would throttle down to prevent damage.
You can download other temp monitoring software and see if you get similar results. Also, if your BIOS reports temps then you should check temps in your BIOS since that should be the most accurate reading.
Although it's generally not an ideal temperature for a computer, but if the temperature stays while you do simple working and light or mid high works in your computer then it can be your cooling system. Which is failing!
In fact, you see this quite easily on the app, whereby my core temp was climbing as I kept running upwards. However, once I reached my turnaround point and started descending, you can start to see my core temp taper back out again and decline. Only to rise slightly as I ran along the flats back to my starting point. The times are all wonky on this one, but the data is correct.
Tried using a Garmin tempe sensor in the waistband area and that particular sensor & location never read higher than 93F which was enough to satisfy my curiosity. In that particular junk science experiment I was interested in over night body temp so a HRM was not involved. The tempe polling interval may be a limiting factor as well.
Physiological changes as women approach menopause and beyond mean their triggers to sweat and their thirst cues kick in late. Resulting dehydration and rising core temperature hinders performance and puts women at greater risk for heat illness. This device could be helpful in monitoring for adequate hydration.
The Core Body Temperature technology was touched on and yes, CORE uses a thermal energy transfer sensor that we produce on-location in Zürich, Switzerland. This article on our website describes the technology in more depth: link to corebodytemp.com
For the simplified version, the reference from my colleague Chris which has been quoted is correct. The human body is continually exchanging energy with the environment whilst cooling and warming. This magnitude and direction of energy flow depends on a) environmental temperature and humidity b) clothing c) sweating d) internal heat production rate/ activity level e) convection or relative wind speed f) Irradiation (solar)
Our sensors measure this energy transfer and can accurately calculate the core body temperature. To reach this point has taken over 5 years of R&D and our testing and improvements just this year have seen continual advances in accuracy where we have eliminated the lag and are now down to 0.21ºC accuracy.
With regard to skin temperature and core body temperature, these behave quite differently, particularly when a person is active or moves from outdoors to indoor or from sun to shade. To demonstrate this, with one of the graphs published above by DC Rainmaker from the WorldTour Team, we also have recorded skin temperature and are planning to publish this chart today in our news section: link to corebodytemp.com
There was also good question on interpreting/analysing the core body temperature data and providing feedback to the athlete. It is crucial to note that each individual is very individual and, for example, we each have a different threshold.
Usually together with a coach, the training and competitive strategies will be developed. Temperature thresholds can be identified and increased (like acclimatisation training) and each athlete will pinpoint the best suited approaches for active cooling to avoid heat-stress. In this context, blanket recommendations within the app would be counterproductive although a customised alert can be set. We are however working with athletes and coaches to build knowledge around core body temperature.
The CORE for sports has the same hardware and when paired with the HRM will then switch to the sports algorithm. Heart Rate is an important cue as sport effort can be more intense and abrupt. If a bike rider, for example, reaches the top of a summit, the changing heart rate is an important signal that we require to ensure the core body temperature remains accurate.
As far as I have understood, the Core body tempe sensor is not really a thermometer that measures the temperature, the sensor just calculates the temperature from different collected values according to a mathematical formula, right?
The Garmin estimated body temperature can run on cycling computers, which means it cannot be based on a temperature measurement. How accurate can that be? The temperature estimate in my garmin activities is laughably inaccurate.
I wonder if this CORE Sensors is within reliable 0,21C of a Bladder Catheters or Pulmonary Artery Catheters how long it will take until CORE chooses that path? I can see a lot of uses in pre-hospital emergency situations, ERs ans IMCs/ICUs where good temperature monitore can be essential for patients and proper treatment. Sticking a CORE sensor onto somebody is much less intrusive than a Bladder Catheter, a rectal thermometer or a Pulmonary Artery Catheter, If it supports wireless transmission to Monitors, it would be a good alternative.
Even as a professional firefighter, I can see a lot of uses on myself, let it be HAZMAT operations or live fire training. We once used the Texas Instruments platform and tried to build a system for monitoring trainees temperature while in training.
