Asus Z170 Pro Gaming (Thermal sensor connector problem)

[Guest]

Why is the temperature of T_Sensor so high? 127 degree celcius?
How do I fix this?

Where are you reading this figure? In the BIOS or through software in your OS?

I'm trying to upload a screenshot but failed to do so. I'm reading it through the Asus AI Suite 3 as well as the BIOS. How can I upload image on this forum?

Uploaded the screenshot. Please help

Looks like a spare socket on the motherboard to attach an optional thermal sensor to place somewhere in your case.

If you don't have one then it looks like it displays a crazy temperature.

As you can see here, there's a black square thing connected to the connectors. Isn't that a sensor?

That is the BIOS chip not a sensor.

Edit: Oh I see what you mean. That could just be a protective cover for the sensor so you don't plug something into it by accident.

When I remove the thing or "cap" it has some metal things in it and the T_Sensor reading will be N/A but when I put it back on it will show 127 degree celcius. I can ignore this right?

Sounds like the protective cap is causing the sensor to give a false reading. I would leave the cap off so it says N/A instead of having a scary 127 degree reading trying to catch me out.
