Motherboard overheating. Need solutions.

[mahathir.the.great]

Why is my Motherboard's temperature over 117 degrees? At the moment it is at 120 degrees Celsius.
I confirmed this using both SpeedFan and Speccy. It seems that the temperatures for the rest is alright, CPU is at 35 degrees, sometimes capping at 45 and GPU(GTX 1050Ti) is at 30-35. This is confusing me and scaring me. I have a fan running at 1200 RPM. Could someone please help me out?

Any helpful ideas/solution would be appreciated 😀

Seems to be a bugged sensor. No way it's 120c.

Check system temperature readings in BIOS.
120C is not physically possible. You'd get smoke from your pc first.

Put hand near mobo heatsinks - you will see that is no way near that hot.

I agree that it's probably an unreliable sensor.

I'd feel the marked area as well as that square gold thing which is a passive cooler that helps to cool your Southbridge.

That's one negative users have to deal with when they buy budget boards. They usually have minimal cooling resulting in slightly higher temps. but not 117C. My board is just above a budget board but it at least has an extra heatsink(big blue thing next to CPU socket). It's a Z97 PCMate

so the manufacturer know the user probably intends to overclock so cooling is usually better.

I know my motherboard isn't 114C or 125C.

I can feel my heatsinks and tell that the sensor is either absent or returning a erroneous reading. Be very careful if you do touch those parts. If it's really that hot you can feel the heat radiating before you touch it.

It seems the heat is not radiating at all. The sensor is definitely bugged.

Good 😀
