Motherboard Overheating (100+ Celsius)

Something on my motherboard is overheating, I've looked at both CAM and LINK and both say the same thing, Temp #12 is reaching 105 degrees Celsius.

I've had this issue for like a month or two. Originally I thought it was my graphics card overheating because when this issue first started, I would try to load a game, immediately my case fans would all kick into turbo mode and my graphics card would stop sending video to my monitor so I'd have to restart my PC, so I took out the GPU and put new thermal paste on, and that problem was solved so I could play games, but after starting games my fans would still go into turbo mode.

Recently now, after playing games for a few hours my computer restarts. I checked device manager and everything is updated and functioning. This is when I installed CAM and LINK to check the temperature. Every single other component I have is never reaching anywhere close too 100, my graphics cards reach 61 max and everything else is in the 30s - 40s, its only this Temp #12. I can't reach all the parts on my motherboard without taking out and moving things, and I can't play games while these things are out so it's near impossible for me to feel the motherboard while it's this hot. Even after turning games off though the temperature doesn't lower so I'm not quite sure what it is, and I'm not quite sure what to do.

Components: (2) Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 G1, Intel i7-5820k, ASUS RAMPAGE V EXTREME, Samsung SSD 950 PRO, WD Black 2TB HDD, (2) G.Skill 8GB RAM, NZXT X61 Water Cooler
 

I've looked into it yeah but I don't know much about water cooling so wouldn't really know too much on how to properly check, but I think if that was the issue my CPU temp would be much higher up,


The temperature reading could be wrong sure but something is overheating and failing somewhere. I've also been using the AI Sense 3, and all temps seem normal and don't go too high, but as soon as I load a game my fans kick up but no temps rise. Also as I mentioned my computer is restarting, so something somewhere is messing up I just can't figure out what.
