Hi! Today my cpu has been acting weird for a little bit. I've been playing space marines 2 and game was crashing a lot despite working fine in previous days.
I've thought it was game issue and tried to find solution for that but nothing helped,so I've decided to turn on my msi afterburner and I saw my cpu at 100*C when it usually sits at 50-55 during load,
I've turned off the game and the temperatures stayed the same,despite the load being very low.
MSI afterburner and hwinfo (I've got 2 screenshots from this one) were reading correctly the cpu parameters while gigabyte aorus software was malfunctioning and giving me essentially fake readings.
First thing I've done was to reset my pc but the issue still prevailed,so I went to the bios and I saw the cpu temp reading being -55*C.
This was weird and I wasn't sure if it was loose cooling (fera 5) or busted temperature sensors.
I've disconnected the pc and took side panel off to find scorching hot cpu radiator! You could cook a dinner on this one,so busted sensor was not an option. I didin't do much beside that,didin't reseat cooler or anything,I've just put the side panel on and booted the pc again and...it was working properly? It's behaving well now and I've played some space marine 2,everything is stable again and cpu is fine during stress tests too.
Now I am being bothered because I have completely no idea why would my cpu go to such extreme temps (never was a thing even under stress test) with system idling.
Anyone has any idea why it happened? I'd like to know in case it will happen again.
I will include 2 small screenshots from hwinfo. Only cpu was acting up,everything else was fine.
