Hello,

There's a heat wave going on at the place where I live that can surely contribute to this. (35 / 40 degrees celsius the entire day)
Yesterday, my little sister's PC got an error stating that the CPU overheated.

Fair enough, let it cool down, opened it and cleaned all the dust out of it.

CPU now at 35 / 40 celsius on idle, which is fine.

But the motherboard is at 112 celsius according to the program I'm using to check the tempature, which is HWMonitor and Speccy.

I have read about false readings on both programs but I'm unsure what the actual tempature is.


When I touch the case on the outside, on the side where the motherboard is mounted, it does not feel hot at all.

Is this just a false reading by the software or could there be something wrong with the sensor on the motherboard itself? Are there any other programs I could use to get the tempature of all components?
 
Solution
Its false, because sensor might not exist there, and pc would be dead if that was chipset or vrm, if temps doesnt change, I would call it false reading.
