The CoreTemp is showing 12384.51MHz on your FX 8350.
Hello all,
This is my problem:
For the record, my OC is done through BIOS. My base clock setting is 200MHz and my multiplier is 26 and voltage is 1.31V. Load Line Calibration is low, so 1.3V might be accurate if there's voltage droop.
I honestly have no idea what's going on here... Is CoreTemp only accurate with Intel CPUs?
Thanks in advance to all that offer their advice.

Are you adjusting the overclock to 4.6? 200*46 equals 9200, which is a speed that could be unrealistic, possibly due to a sensor issue or incorrect readings from the program. Maybe it's a sensor fault or the software is misreading data. Check CPU-Z or AIDA64 for more info.
Note: Multiplier setting is 26. It has been stable at this speed on another motherboard, though CoreTemp might be inaccurate.
Yes, I recently installed Windows after swapping the board. All drivers were downloaded from the manufacturer's site. No CPU overclocking tools were used; overclocking was done through BIOS.
I observed some inconsistencies in the data with my FX 8350 at 4.8, like task manager still assuming a max of 4 GHz even though it was clearly operating above that. I wouldn't pay too much attention to it, particularly given the Core Temp problems during the early days of the FX CPUs. HWMonitor might display different values.

For example, the task manager still believed the CPU was capped at 4 GHz even though it was clearly operating above that.

After re-seating the CPU, the socket seemed to behave oddly. The retention arm didn't move smoothly and the socket would suddenly shift violently when the lever was pressed due to inconsistencies. This issue persisted even when the CPU wasn't properly seated.
Now that I've re-seated the CPU, the BIOS appears to be unhappy with my OC settings that had been functioning well at 35°C just a short time ago.
I plan to try another board with a fresh installation to check the situation.
Just added another board. The same OC settings I used earlier are functioning well. AIDA64 now recognizes my CPU correctly. The AIDA64 info looks accurate, though CoreTemp continues to be misleading. Thanks everyone for your support, but I’m confident I’ve resolved the problem myself.
