Need some info guys. I've checked my hwinfo and i can't get over sometihng...
I see this section " Motherboard"
Motherboard: 25C
temp 3 109c
temp 4 108C
temp 5 109c
temp 6 116C

What are these " temp 3" " temp 4"? 109 C seems like overheating like hell

It's at right top corner.

Could it be not connected sensors? I think if anything in my PC would be over 110C it would shut down automatically... and this 110C on idle seems like fake ?

The software information is not accurate : My all HDDs are working normal but the program says it has S.M.A.R.T failure which means my HDDs are going to blow up soon. I'd really have less faith in the software.The original WDTools say my disks are normal :)
Just ignore information, anyways your motherboard would be a heat machine if that information would be correct.
Plus every board bios has overheat protection. Which turns off power if board cross the safe temperatures. Nothing to worry about

yeah anything over 80c is to high IMO and 90c is the absolute most a chip can handle usually before throttling down or turning off complete to avoid damage. I can't say by your screen shot i can make sense of your temps for temp 3-6....i can see your temps and voltages look good for CPU cores, gpu, etc. maybe system ram but without knowing how many sticks you have i can't say with any certainty. If you have four sticks that may be your answer...and if you do does your ram have heat spreaders or is it overclocked...what are your system specs? also a screen shot from your bios (all of it) would help narrow it down.

yeah no if it were me i would dig deeper. not worrying about it could be a great way to kill your PC. It may be nothing but i would not be so so passe about it.

you could try some other montioring software see if you get the same temps. try openhardwaremonitor.org or CPUID.com's hardware monitor.

It says there are total 5 heat sensors in mother board. Technically it's false unless it really has them and displayed in BIOS. Usually there are only 2 - one in CPU and one in Motherboard near south bridge. All things are working fine. Only the problem is software itself.

system spec:
i7-4790@3.6-4
gtx 980@1.3/3500 ( not oc'd atm)
z97-k
ssd 850evo
wd green 2tb 5400rpm
hyperxgenesis 8gb 1866mhz 1.5v cl10 (1 stick )
scythe mugen max cooling
fsp raider 650w silver

i have only 1 ram stick in a2 atm. i will upgrade to dual channel 16gb next week.

As i've said the most wierd that this is on idle. And i can play any demanding game for even 6-7 hours with gpu oc'd to 1500/8000 without any problem, my 3dmark firestrike is very good i have score of 11700 on idle and 12000 with gpu oc, also didn't have a single bsod or crash or anything since i've built this pc.

Thanks for your answers.

Glad to help,
It seems fine setup.
I'm sure your motherboard has some utilities to support it's functionality, install them and monitor all the stuff you require. It's safe and always accurate. And it's from hardware vendor so they know how many things are there in your system.

i had ai suite 3 installed, but it was so bad i uninstalled it. I had errors and driver failures all time for the program and it turned out its because amda00 driver from asus is faulty( people from ROG forum with same issue) so i've uninstalled it 😀 but i'll just ignore these temps then...

Yeah I do understand your problem :) I use AI suite also and it helps a lot to manage my system. Although I have no such problem with probe drivers.
I assume you are running either windows 8/8.1 from the screenshot. So according to the forums it's AI Probe Driver and it's broken in most cases for windows 8 - try to install earlier version of OS drivers i.e. win7x64 bit for Probe Only , some people say it worked for them.
You can find them in support section of product page.
This is the product page :
http://www.asus.com/in/Motherboards/Z97K/overview/
If I'm wrong please correct me :)

Edit: It turns out it's an ACPI Driver which is labeled under ASUS_AMDA00_ACPI in utilities but it's not present there product page.

Yes exactly as you say. Its broken on 8.1.ive tried everything but it fails on every boot . i dont want to bother with it anymorebecause i m pretty fine with manageing system from uefi : D i guess these temp4-8 could be the amda00 acpi sensors and they show incorect results because the ai suite and probe is not installed. Could this be logic?

Photonboy ive tried yes and it failed just as previous versions. I dont feel like flashing bios because i dont encounter any issues except these temp 4 -8 sensors showing incorrect results. Btw thr mobo is 3 month old. So there is a chance it is the newest bios but im not sure. And im at uniersity atm. Ill check when i get home.
All fans i have seem to work properly.
If someone could back up that they are really just incorrect temps nothing more that would be nice .

Yeah those all those sensors has to do with ACPI driver which you cannot install in any case since ASUS did not bother to write it since past 2 years. However you can disable it so that windows doesn't try to find drivers every time it boots.
The solution they give is to disable it:

Microsoft Thread:

P.S. The motherboard mentioned in Microsoft forum(B85M-G) in fact has ACPI drivers working properly now. I have seen exact motherboard and AI Suite works fine in that mother board. Your only hope is to wait until Asus releases something for defected driver. Till then you can use system as it is.

I finally got home. Here is the warning message from windows event logger:
Event 219 Kernel-PnP
The driver \Driver\WUDFRd failed to load for the device ACPI\PNP0A0A\2&daba3ff&1.

I've tried disabling the device amda00 in device manager, but each boot windows reinstalls the driver and reenables it automatically.
:/

I've connected asus, described the issue properly. Let's see what their answer is.
I'll keep this updated after they've replíyed.,
