Help finding out AMD A10 CPU temperature


Recommended Posts

I am trying to find out my CPU temperature, I have a quad core AMD A10 5700, I installed a free product called HWMonitor for this and it shows lots of data but not the four cores temperatures, instead it shows me a single core called "package".

 

Anybody can tell me if this is because the CPU has a graphics card integrated or how to find out each core temperature?

 

Thank you

 

PS: Screenshot attached, see where it says "Temperatures">Packages

Not all motherboards have temperature sensors, so you might not be able to tell.

 

I'm guessing 'package' is the core temps -- the highest figures.

 

127 F, being the average.

Temp sensor of the motherboard has nothing to do with the temp sensor of the CPU.. And yes OP.. See AMD A10-5700, then see "temperatures" under that? That is your Current, Min and Max CPU temps.

OP Asked.

Then I said, this, because you clearly implied that the motherboard temp sensor had something to do with the CPU temp sensor:

So don't try to play it off as though you knew what you were talking about with:

DUH :laugh:


Not trying to be a jerk here, I just don't like it when people give clearly misleading information.

Based on what was said here: http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/howitworks.html; I checked the AMD programmer manuals and I think there is only one package sensor for APUs (either that or the documentation is really horrible... it actually is pretty bad tbh). 

 

See:

Thank you everyone for the advice.

 

Do I deduct it correctly that because AMD A10 is an APU and not a stand alone CPU I will never see temperature for each separate core?

 

I was confused because I used to have an Intel quad core before and temperatures using the same program were dispalying each separate core, I had not taken into account that the A10 is a APU with graphics.

I forgot to answer the other part of the question -- A10-5700 is an APU and that GPU listed is integrated on die.

 

that is odd. I'm running a AMD combo A8 3520M with a 6620HD APU... they down graded your APU for basically a superior CPU to mine. :huh:

Not mine :-), but the OPs. I imagine it has something to do with catering to different segments of the market.

Even the older series AMDs (non-APUs) didn't have per-core temperature sensors from what I've been reading (disclaimer: I haven't owned an AMD processor in ages). If they had decided to they could have provided sensors for each core and the on-die GPU. It may well have to do with the on-die transistor area. It might not have distinct regions used for core or for the gpu; in which case it doesn't really make sense to have more than 1 sensor for the entire package.

    • Exactly. Use it is fine, but copyright is another story...
    • Not really, I am pretty hot at the moment and tomorrow I will be even hotter as the U.K are some hot days. Not looking forward to work. I just don't want to connect my computer to MS servers, I have no need to, the same with my Mac not being connected to Apple Servers. I have no need for MS or Apple accounts.
    • Really? Do you want it spelled out? Ok: It was a funsies way to say that we can confidently asume that their update servers were shut down years ago already, and no updates have been developed or delivered to any LG phone in years, since, to begin, LG wasn't too well known for their software support.
    • Good afternoon, I have a customer who purchased a Dell laptop last year. One of the latest Inspirons. they are older so it can be a bit hard to see things on the screen. They are using Windows 11 Home 23H2, I have not upgraded them yet to 24H2. What I did was changed the scaling to 150% and that automatically made all the icons on desktop bigger and using in Chrome webpage elements are bigger etc. The thing is I overlooked the Taskbar and the icons most notably hidden within the arrow pointing up. I though by changing to 150% the scaling even the taskbar would get bigger. Again I don't know how I missed seeing that. Is this something that can be fixed? One other thing is I notice in File Explorer things are also small and not larger after the change. Can this be fixed as well?   Thank You.
    • Apple still has two unannounced features for iOS 26 by Hamid Ganji Apple held its WWDC25 event this month to unveil a slew of AI features and its new design for operating systems, known as Liquid Glass. While iOS 26 currently has no shortage of features, the iPhone maker might still have some features under wraps that didn’t make a debut at this month’s WWDC. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman writes in his weekly Power On newsletter that Apple didn’t announce two iOS 26 features at the WWDC event. The first feature is a live translation of conversations via AirPods, and the latter is the ability to sync your wireless network login information across devices at a hotel or gym. Even though these features were already tipped to arrive in iOS 26, Apple held them from the event, presumably because they’re still not ready to ship. Apple appears to have learned from its experience with Apple Intelligence and aims to break the habit of unveiling new features before they are ready for release. The Live Translation on iOS 26 is currently integrated with popular apps like Messages, FaceTime, and Phone to help users break language barriers and communicate in different languages. The feature is now under development for AirPods, allowing users to hear real-time speech translations. Moreover, the WiFi syncing feature allows you to sync your sign-in information across your entire Apple ecosystem, enabling you to connect to a public WiFi network with ease. This would eliminate the need to sign into a WiFi network separately on each device. While these features haven’t arrived in iOS 26 yet, they’re more likely to be released later this year, in October or December.
