Cpu overheating although fan is working

[michaelkwon32]

I have a enermax saberay case and tried to plug in the rgb on the motherboard for mystic light. Suddenly an electric spark or little came out of nowhere. I started my pc wondering what happened. Everything was working fine, except the fact that my cpu suddenly over heated even though my fan is spinning well. I checked the fan rpm, to find that it's 0 rpm. I took off the stock cooler to see the thermal paste that was perfectly fine. Do I need to replace my mobo or something?

How do you know the cpu overheated?

My mobo bios is telling me it's 126 Celsius. From CAM and Core Temp. It tells me that it is 36 Celsius

I'm thinking you may be getting a false reading.

I don't think a spark from plugging RGBs in is going to have any effect on temps unless it blew your CPU fan or CPU fan power.

I would trust CAM and COre Temp more.....and if you want further confirmation download HWMonitor and look at the CPU temp in that./.....and if it's near 36 I'd say your BIOS is in error.
