Faulty Motherboard Temp sensor

Hi, I just built a new computer with a ryzen 7 2700x and a asus crosshair vii hero motherboard and when I look at my Temperatures in the bios they all look normal except the motherboard Temperature which sits at 127°C with out changing. I tried updating to the latest bios (0702) and it stayed the same. I then downloaded hwinfo and it shows the cpu socket sitting at that temp. So, my question is can I just ignore it knowing that it's just a faulty temperature sensor and everything else works just fine or should I mess with a rma on the board?

If you don't see any other issues it should be safe to leave it alone. Clearly 127C is an error since the system wouldn't function if any component got near that temperature. That reading can be disregarded and there's no reason to assume more than just a bad sensor as long as everything else works.

If the motherboard is faulty then would suggest to RMA it because you cant tell if anything is overheating but in bios CPU temps go higher and if it still showing the same Temperature then would see if the CPU cooler is working and fitted on correctly but if anything is faulty then do not ignore them

I should have been a little more clear. Its just the one temperature sensor on the motherboard that just isn't reading anything. The rest of my sensors including the actual cpu temp is working fine.
