No, the monitor does not function properly.

I checked my system temperatures using the hardware monitor. It showed the CPU was only at 6 degrees. At first I thought maybe Gabe N was joking, but then I realized how cool that is! The room temperature was about 23 degrees, yet the CPU stayed so low. That can’t be right unless the monitor is giving me wrong data.
Not always a faulty hardware monitor. AMD processors are known for unreliable temperature sensors.
Other applications might display identical temperatures, so avoid pushing the CPU beyond safe limits completely since you're unsure of your actual heat levels.
AMD temperature sensors become less reliable as the chip moves farther from 55°C. When the chip is under load and not overheating, readings are accurate. During unstable or excessively hot conditions, the sensors give incorrect values. BIOS software performs better in these situations.
I captured your precise issue (both with the temperature sensors and core temp being flagged as suspicious). On the CT's download page, select "More downloads..." and save the standalone program. The components usually included are reportedly harmful, but they aren't.
