CPU temperature

I bought an AMD Athlon II X3 440. When enabled in the BIOS, the temperature is 30 degrees for the processor sensor and 30 degrees for the motherboard sensor. The radiator is generally cold. When running in Linux, it gives out that the temperature is 70-80 degrees. If you stop the cooler, the radiator starts to heat up slowly, the temperature on the sensor also rises. Tested on linux and windows. During operation, the motherboard sensor warmed up to 40 degrees. The processor at startup in the BIOS is 35. Moreover, I even stopped the cooler, turned off the unit, quickly launched it into the BIOS - there again 30-40 on the processor and 40 on the motherboard.
Cooling I do not remember what exactly. Zalman marked nvidia glows green, with copper heatpipes. But here is a similar one
Thermal paste applied like an average amount, although it ended, perhaps not enough. But I don’t think that the cooler allows you to cool it only up to 80 degrees.
What tell me? Is it just the sensor being weird or should I be concerned?

Obviously a problem with the sensor. It happened on my P4 motherboards

Either a sensor or thermal paste (when there is more than necessary, this is very bad, because it is needed only to fill the micropores between the processor and the heatsink, you don’t need to smear the whole stone with it.)
And what program do you watch the temperature with? Maybe she's lying to you too.
I had a similar problem on an Athlon 3000+, but the high temperatures there were due to the old thermal paste, after replacing the thermal paste everything was fine.

You need to trust the bios, IMHO. Try different programs. I have CoreTemp, Everest and some other software show up to 10 degrees of difference.

Hmm, my Athlon XII on a laptop in skates showed 85-90 degrees at idle. Until they told me that it was bad - I thought that it should be so :) As the laptop's relation to the SC showed, the temperature sensor was also buggy, so, perhaps, this is hereditary in Athlons.

Did you forget to remove the protective film from the cooler when you installed it? ;)
