What's happening with my motherboard ?! How can it be 120 degrees ?! Some help please . I touched the case and i don't feel hot anywhere .. also i touched the metal thing with usbs ports and monitorports from motherboard and it isn't hot al all.
I run this pc normally but i'm afraid of my motherboard. Should i remove the removable side from the case , also should i speed up fans at max ? i have 2 in front of the case and 1 in the back of the case.
Help please !

if it were my system, I'd think it was a bad reading, a way to tell:

Put it into standby with the program running, leave it for a few hours, bring it out of standby, if it is still showing that (when all other temps have fallen down) then it's just a bad reading. Even if it shows a climbing temp, it would have to be climbing from maybe ambient +10 to +20C, up to 120C, which I doubt you'll see.


Mine does the same thing.
Most likely a false report of sorts, it is kind of complicated how temperature diodes work.

Download and install Speccy - that shows the correct motherboard temp for my motherboard.
CPUz and HWmonitor both show incorrect temps for my Asus mainboard as well.
