i have the fx-6300 and i read that it uses an algorithm with the clock speed with the usage over time to find temps and it has a set up in the catalyst to under-clock to 1.4 ghz when at idle and i turned it off and it gave me a temp of 23.5c average which is a little above the temp of the room and i can post a pick a little later

it reduce is working speed so the temp goes down ,this is a good feature .
