On HWMonitor I noticed i have really high temperatures on TMPIN0, it's always around 80-90C when everything else is below 45C, including core temperatures, having googled around this value should correspond to the cpu temp. This "sensor" is SpeedFan 3rd temperature "Temp1", also there, everything is quite cold except this. I noticed when gaming this value gets really high, towards 110C. When i restart and check the bios i have both cpu and mobo temperatures low. I am worried i could break the cpu but i don't get why this happens while every other temperature is low. I recently replaced the thermal paste and cleaned the cpu fan, it's still the same.
 
80 to 90C is fine. just do go over 100C its could damage your cpu. 110C could destroy it. If your getting these temps get a better cpu cooler. for $100 get a corsair h100v2. stock cpu coolers just wont cut it.
 


I don't think having a cpu 80-90C while idle on windows is fine.
I have an arctic i-30, it's cleaned and thermal paste has just been changed, i see no reason why it shouldn't work
