I know this may sound like a silly question but has anyone experienced increased CPU temp after installing AMDs X2 driver from their website. I have noticed that my idle temp has gone from 34C to 48C after installing the AMD driver. If I remove the AMD driver, the CPU temp reverts back to 34C at idle. I am using ASUS Probe to measure the CPU temp. Could it be that the AMD driver just affects the reading through the Asus software.
 
Have tried this already, CPU temp was at 48C in asus probe, restarted and went straight into the bios, CPU was at 36C 15 seconds later.
 
Since removing the AMD driver I havent had any problems was more just curious as I want to increase my overclock and was wondering which temperature was correct as to not push things too far. Also I wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem as it cant just be me.
