CPU socket reaching 112C

I assume the TMPIN0 reading on CPUID HWMonitor is the CPU socket?, how can I keep it from going so high in temp?

Catastrophic Shutdown Sensor would kick in around 100c your pc would shut itself down to protect from thermal damage. Any way you can put a picture up of what you are seeing?

It's not staying that high for long, it stays above 85C, I alt out of the game and see it peaking to 112C, World of Tanks was just updated to a new engine (Core), this game was capped at 120fps, now there is no cap, I hope this is not what is working the CPU so hard to get the socket that hot, my GPU is right at home at over 80c running this game between 100 - 200 fps, but when it is running frames that high that is when the CPU socket peaks.

I am thinking it might be the amount of power it is consuming?

I'm getting an MSI M7 z270 in the mail tomorrow, reasons unrelated to this, just wanted to try out a different manufacturer of board, I've been running Gigabytes in my last 2 older rigs and this one, I'll see if it does the same.

You can ignore any crazy tmpins or other crazy temps on hwmonitor. It just reads any sensor it sees even if it doesn't know how. Pay attention to the ones that are labeled correctly as those are standardized.

It's software. Assume nothing. While a decent program, it has limitations set on it by mobo manufacturers. They keep changing how they work. The temps are read from buss addresses, but what's one address on one mobo can be entirely different on another. TmpIn0 could be mosfets, Northbridge, socket, or even some obscure microcontroller. TmpIn4 on my pc reads 255°C, TmpIn6 reads -125°C. Both physically impossible for a mobo under anything close to normal circumstances.

If it's really worry some, the easiest method of checking is by using a thermal camera to check for the really hot spots, or a laser thermal sensor will do the same job, many electricians will have one. If you do find something physically reaching 112°C, you have an issue, but even taxed boards generally don't have componentry that'll go over @100°C at best. Some mosfets being the exception.

Thanks for the answers, hopefully it is just a software misreadings!
