    APU throttling at 50 degrees Celsius
    « on: January 22, 2016, 04:24:28 PM »
    I'm running an A10 7870K on a Gigabyte Motherboard with 8GB of 2133Mhz RAM. I'm also using Windows 10. However, when stressing my APU to test it it throttles at 50 degrees Celsius which seems awfully low to me. ANY help is sorely appreciated. This is troubling me since this is my first time building a computer.

    What program are you using to measure the temperature?  50C does seem low but it's possible that the temperature is not being read correctly.

    What is the exact Motherboard model#? I see lots of hits for people having issues like yours on google search for Gigabyte board and that APU. The solution I have seen has been adding a better cooler as well as one has suggestion of a BIOS update fixing the issue, as well as one has voltages being adjusted.

    Are you overclocking this APU or running it at the stock speed as well?
