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.

    • WhatsApp document scanning gets closer to launch as more beta testers get access by Paul Hill Meta looks as though it’s getting closer to releasing WhatsApp’s native document scanner on Android because more people are now reporting they have access in the beta. This will give users a privacy-friendly way to snap photos of documents and automatically convert them to PDF ready for sharing. According to WABetaInfo, the feature comes with two modes: manual and automatic. The manual capture gives users more control over the process allowing them to adjust positioning and lighting to get the best quality scan. Automatic mode on the other hand automatically detects the edge of your document on its own and snaps the image without too much user input, making it faster and easier. Once the picture is taken, WhatsApp automatically converts it to a PDF file so that it can be shared and opened easily by the recipient. The file can be sent within private chats or group conversations. The entire scanning and conversion process takes place locally on your device, using Android’s built-in API for snapping documents. The document itself is also only stored locally until you decide to send it. Just like other WhatsApp messages, these scans are secured with end-to-end encryption when you send them to recipients. The only privacy risk is the user sending the PDF to the wrong person. The new feature was first noticed for Android a few weeks ago and with the latest beta it’s rolling out to more people. Once Meta has tested it across a wide array of devices, we will likely see it land for people on the stable version of WhatsApp. In recent weeks, we have also seen that Meta is testing new chat color themes in the beta releases. That feature doesn’t seem to have filtered down to the stable version yet, so be on the lookout for that too if that’s of interest to you.
