Amd Athlon X4 860K heat problem

I don't understand how to read that. What's the temperature of your CPU? Thermal margin means nothing.
 
CPU temperature is lower than thermal limit, so no serious problems there. You probably have poor cooler and/or case cooling.
 
Thermal limit seems to be 72 degrees C for that CPU so your CPU temp is around 65 degrees C. Not serious problem.

Coretemp should show exact temperatures on that CPU.
 
None of them read a AMD temps right. The CPU socket temp sensor reads better at idle. From the looks of it, unless its reading it wrong too. The power supply looks like its getting ready to take a dump.
 
Yeah, most programs read the CPU temp sensor way to low at idle. Like mine AIDA64 show my CPU temp at 27C and the CPU socket at 37C. Pretty sure 27C is way to low at idle. Now under load the CPU temp comes pretty much online.

edit
But I am talking about the FX line but I would say the Athlon X4 860K is the same.
