Hardware Monitor: CPUTIN 'max' exceeds 100C but 'value' never goes beyond 60C??

[rasmusliboriusbruun]

Hi,

Just assembled a new setup, and wanted to stress test the CPU.

I'm using Prime98 and monitoring the temps in Hardware Monitor CPUID

Looking at CPUTIN, the current value looks good, but the max value if off the charts! And strangely before running the test, the 'max' value was 80C - as the test progressed the 'max' value kept rising even though the current value was never even close to 80C?? Does anyone have any insight into what could be happening? I realize that the CPUTIN is measured by the motherboard, but the behavior of the 'value' and 'max' is confusing me.

The attached picture is taken 20 minutes into the 'blend' test in Prime98

I suggest you run aida64 not Prime95. Among other reasons being it can help you see when you thermal (overheat).
Also I would basically ignore cputin and scroll a little further down and look at CPU temps for the package and by the cores.

To answer your other question: Value = current value. Max = Highest temp since you started the program (this session). So exit and re-load the app = new session.

Based on the CPUTIN it looks as if your CPU is overheating, not good. It should run at around 80c or less ideally and never go over 90c.

i had an issue with mine showing temps that always hit a ceiling of 67C, no matter the load - using a few other utilities, including intel's XTU utility, my temps were really hitting 98-100C. Turned out the utility i was using, Asus's AI Performance Suite created (and still does) conflicts in or with the BIOS - found that after researching, and Asus actually came out with a "cleaner" utility to totally remove the suite. The utility had to be run in safe mode

Don't know if you're running a similiar utility from MSI, but you might temporarily consider un-installing it - something about the mobo mfgrs throwing these performance utilities out without doing their work the way they should
