Hi,
I booted my PC up today and did the usual temp check to make sure everything was okay and I noticed HWMonitor reporting the TMPIN1 temperature as being 127C, although my CPU core temps were only 25C.
I found on another thread on here that the TMPIN1 points to the CPU, or more specifically, the north bridge temperature. I was tinkering the other night with the CPU/NB voltage in an attempt to overclock my CPU further, although it was short lived as I found no positive results. I stopped once I hit a CPU/NB voltage of 1.21V
So with that in mind, I did a CMOS reset to clear all every setting possible and proceeded to boot up into windows and immediately turned every fan on full. The results are shown below:

Is it possible I have damaged the northbridge on my motherboard? Should I be worried or is this just an anomaly? Hardware specs of PC below:
Case: NZXT Phantom 410
Motherboard: MSI 990FXA-GD80
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965BE @ 4.1GHz
CPU Heatsink: Cooler Master TPC-800 w/ 2x Corsair SP120mm fans
RAM: Avexir White Core Series 8GB (2x4GB) @ 1600MHz
GPU: MSI GTX660 TFIII
HD: Kingston HyperX 3K 120GB SSD + WD Blue Series 1TB HDD
PSU: Corsair GS600 (a Cooler Master V850 is on its way!)
PS: It should be noted a full 3 hour Prime95 test has been carried out on the CPU at 4.1GHz prior to the CPU/NB voltage change, so it was fully stable.
