is there a HWMonitor bug?

This is a screenshot of the temps of my system when at Idle.

I am sure there is a few bugs with the version of HWMonitor I am using as my CPU temp isn't what it states above the mainboard, and tmpin2 if it was 128 Degrees there would be steam coming from my system.

Is there anybody that can confirm this. Also are the temps of my components good for idle.

I'm pretty sure "package" temperature in HWmonitor is an approximation based on the combined temperature of individual cores. In your situation it is clearly erroneous. No worries, you should ignore it in favor of individual core temps. The TMPIN2 value is also erroneous. A value of 128c essentiallly means "no sensor present". No worries.

I would suggest trying CoreTemp and SpeedFan. On a new system, I use a combo of those two, HWMonitor, CPU-z, and GPU-z to sort out any erroneous values and to determine which utilities seem to work best for that particular system and components. Anyway, try a few of those in addition to HWMonitor. Get the most recent versions of each.
