CPU temp sensors bug or overheat?

[GabrielTomas]

Hi guys, I'm having a problem on my computer, because my cpu core temps are highly different.
I have 6 temps on my cpu core where 2 of them are completly normal at 30ºC (idle) and the other 4 are above 100ºC(idle) when the cpu temp (on general) is 30ºC(idle)... I don't understand why, I have an artic watercooler 120mm and I've already dismount it a lot of times, looked inside directly at the cpu and motherboard... I don't actually see anything wrong inside!

PS: I already used different programs to see the temps, and they are always the same

INFO:
- cpu - i7 4790k
- cooler - Artic Liquid Freezer 120
- motherboard - asus h81-gamer

and I actually have a lot of fans working on my case

Some multicore CPUs are like this, do you have it OCed?

But it just started to show +100ºC today... And no, it's not ovced

 

[Geek Jed]

Is it running the same right now?

Is it running the same right now?

Yes it is... No breaks on games, same fps, same speed on the startup, runs 4k video with no problem... But still, +100ºC on 3 of the 6 cores...

hmmm...can you try a different cooling solution?

I can put the cooler that came with the cpu... If that's the case

 

[Geek Jed]

Put it on, the cooler that came with the CPU, if the temps change, better or worse, at least we'll know.

They stay at the same temps... It's impossible.. I start up my pc and my cpu temp is between 15 and 20 ºC and then then there is +100 in some cpu cores... While in others they stay at 20!

Well, it's safe to say it's not the cooler. I believe you got a CPU with a bad sensor bug, as you clearly stated in the title, just keep monitoring the CPU as you play games or whatever, but I do not think it'll get and worse. CPU's reach higher temps then that.
