can anyone explain why this is happening.

I am thinking it is not correct, nothing feels that hot on the motherboard. Maybe some of you have seen this before and know how to correct this.

TNPIN 6 & 8 are reading well over 100c... BTW how do you insert a image ? I do not have a host site for it...

Check temperatures in BIOS to rule out software issues. If in Bios temps are the same then try updating the bios. If still not ok, then it's hardware problem of MB

If temps are not erratic jumping thousands of degrees, but ramps up steady as the load increases maybe it's the actual temp and the heat-sink is improperly mounted so the heatsink stay cool while the parts under are toasting.

If temps are fine in BIOS, then try different software for monitoring.

Speedfan and Hardware Monitor both say 100-110c.

Bios and Motherboard software and Speccy all have normal temps.

Guess I will switch to Speccy for software Temperature monitoring then.

I'm confused, What else could be affecting the reading (software, motherboard or bios) anything else just let me know and I will post it.

I am using bios 2.3 I think (I would have to shut down to get that info right)?

O and the temperature is that high right away on a cold boot, it does not climb even after hours of full load.
