CPU at 128Degrees Celcius!?

[Parq]

Alright last night when I was playing The Division Beta, my friend went on about how his GPU was melting and plastic was coming off, so my other friend told him to download speedfan or some application that counted the temp of the internals. So I did as well just out of curiosity and my GPU came out at 58Degrees Celcius running the division beta on high. My CPU although came out at a whopping 128 Degrees Celcius as you can see the the picture below. Is that just a false reading. Because after all night of it being off I came back this morning and as soon as I started my PC it was again at 128DC.

Have you tried checking your CPU temp in your BIOS? If your CPU really was at 125°c your PC wouldn't stay running for very long, because the CPU would shut itself off.

Alright I just ran a different application and heres the results.

Also is this normal for being idle/running chrome and youtube. Its using the stock fan, im gonna upgrade to a Hyper 212 EVO

That would seem more like it. It looks like the other piece of software is just misinterpreting the sensor data. Just to be certain, I'd recommend going in to BIOS and checking in there as well.

False reading with speedfan my friend. Those temps 40-50c that you have posted are most likely correct and for that CPU with a stock cooler seem about right AND that's a little toasty for that CPU at idle. The BIOS is the best place to check the CPU temperature at Idle though ( i.e before the OS has started running). I would recommend upgrading the CPU cooler as it's likely you will shave at least 10c off the temperature at Idle and when under load.

Another decent program is realtemp. I've never cared much for speedfan, from my personal experience it's faulty more often than it's correct. Those temps you got with core temp seem much more accurate. Intel cpu's will throttle at around 100-105c.
