Can Nuvoton NCT6791D cause throttling?

[RedPyrrhus]

I'm running Open Hardware Monitor (screenshot attached) to see what temperatures my i7 5820K CPU is running at. It's not overclocked or anything. The Nuvoton temperatures are shown as much higher than the Inter i7 temperature. Based on some research I think this is most likely due to an incorrectly attached sensor. What I couldn't find answer to however is if the CPU decides to throttle based on the temperature under Nuvoton or based on the temperature under 'Inter Core i7-5820K' . Just want to make sure my rig is performing properly.

RedPyrrhus,

Welcome to Tom's!

Thermal throttling is an internal function of the processor.

Your Nuvoton sensor inputs 3, 4, 5 and 6 are erroneous.

Download and run Real Temp GT for monitoring your Core temperatures.
