Ok guys, here's the thing.
A week ago or so I made a thread asking for which temperatures should I target on a PC build. From what I've understood, below 80°C is OK and won't damage my components. That's good there. However, this was for my intel build, and temperatures within a case I think are different from the ones you should get in a laptop. I also heard that AMD processors and APUs generate much more heat than Intel's CPUs, but I don't believe this at 100%, so I have to ask
While I get the final part of the money for my build, I am playing Cities Skylines on my laptop, which is an HP Pavilion, AMD A6-4400M APU. Cities Skylines is a highly CPU-bound game, and it gets to 17 FPS with everything on low but textures on high.
While I was playing, I plugged in a monitor to the laptop, plugged in a cooler pad, and ran MSI afterburner for info about CPU usage, temps, and clocks. I noticed that HWInfo64 tells me 3 different temps, HWMonitor tells me 4, and MSI afterburner on the main page tells me just one
While gaming, CPU usage is almost always at 100%, and temperatures are like these
CPU 0: 82°C
HGST: 54°C (I believe this is the HDD)
GPU Thermal Diode: 65°C
And HWmonitor tells me another one, which I think is bugged
CPU 0 Package: 127°C
MSI afterburner's main page gives me the same temps I can read on GPU Thermal diode.
By the way, I downloaded AMD Overdrive and disabled turbo cores to see if it helped with the temperatures. Only the CPU 0 went down to 78°C, and the game performed the same.
Which of these different temperatures should I be more worried about? And what temperature should be the maximum possible in order not to overheat the laptop?
Are AMD's APUs usually hotter than Intel's CPUs, and therefore more heat resistant?
PS: Can someone explain me why is there a 10°C difference between CPU 0 and GPU Thermal diode? As far as I understand in an APU these are both in the same place.
