I'm running an FX-4100 with a Hyper 212 for cooling and only just started overclocking it. It's currently running at 4.6GHz, and I get this after 8 hours of Prime95:

The reason why it says that 2 cores are running at 3.4 is because I decided to leave on all of the automatic core protection settings until I was sure the OC was stable.
Ultimately, that isn't the problem, the problem is that at 100% load for 8 hours the max temp I'm getting is 41 C when the ambient temp is 20 C. The computer apparently idles at 14 C. Since all of this is thermodynamically impossible, I want to know what the easiest way to correct the sensor would be, since all I can think of at the moment is opening up the case and holding a candy thermometer to the side of the chip, which won't even give me the junction temperature.

AMD sensor readings are not accurate on idle but are fine on load. This is a common known issue.

I honestly don't believe that a processor clocked 1 GHz above stock with higher voltage should be maxing out at 40 C under full load, though, I'm no expert on overclocking.

welcome to AMD CPUs, cheap overclocking for the price of shit longevity.
