Now I'm not sure what's going on with Core Temp, as the machine was running idle and it read 0C, which is not a usual reading for a CPU cooled with a stock heatsink/fan. So I launched the ASRock Extreme Tuning Utilities and looked at my core temps there. Now how do I get my offsets to plug into Core Temp?
Core temp is not really any good with AMD cpu's due to the way the temp is measured. Have a butchers at this AMD Temp Information and Guide
I find the best programs for monitoring AMD cpu's are HWmonitor, HWinfo64 and Aida64 which will show a reading for the socket and core but due to the way they're measured the core temp is only accurate from about 40-45c. So use the socket temp to give you an idea of idle temps and the core for load temps.
I use HWinfo64 myself as i found HWinfo show's low voltages on the +12v rail.
