Asus mobo and 111°C temperature

[Susmoy Paul]

well, that's the problem right now i'm facing. Mobo model is Asus z87-k. Processor i5 4570. 4 chasis fan running. GPU gtx 770.

Every other component's temp is normal. Just mobo is constant at 111°C. checked with Speccy, CPUID and Corsair Link.

Can't find the temp option in Asus's shitty BIOS. it just shows the CPU temp. NO MOBO.

If it is a constant 111 degrees, no matter what you do, right after booting and also after using the PC intensely for a few hours, in summer and in winter alike, then it's clearly a defective temp reading. If on the other hand the temp reading varies, even if slightly, then there might be a real problem.

it's just decreased to 110°C.

it seems it varies from 110 to 112°C.

But my chassis is all right. It is as cold as it should be.

it may be reading the main chipset of the mb. depending on the mb some have heat sinks over the chipset and vrm to keep them cool. if your mb has no cooler on the chipset think of buying one that sticks on.

I would think faulty temp sensor that board has heat sinks.
If the BIOS has nothing to check that temp then those programs are useless

have a thought 'bout this?

well it shows the 'right' temp all before, about 1-1.5 years ago. I used to check temp all the time. then I gave up.

today i cleaned the whole chassis. then gave a thought to check after all this time. then i discovered that. don't know how long it's been showing.

Then thst would say the sensor has gone bad.

i would shoot an email to asus eng support see where temp sensor 3 is and if your mb does not have a heat sink there or if the sink is lose or needs re pasting.

let me know what you get.

In the mean time, I will try MAFIA 3 to see how the temp rises.

okay folks/ I've some news.

I just ran PRIME95 SMALL FFTs test for 10 mins. 100% cpu usage.

Fortunately the 3rd sensor of the mobo remained at 111°C. 1st and 2nd one were just 30°C. But The 4th one jumped to 65°C. after the test, it dropped to 36°C.

I think I got my answer.
