Motherboard temperature way too high, please help

[Reece Gilbert]

Wondering if anyone could help me, i have an Asus Z97-K motherboard and i am confused with the readings for the temperatures. I have downloaded both Speedfan and HWMonitor, and both are saying my motherboard is currently running at 117 degrees, but when i enter the bios on start up it is saying the motherboard is running at 20 degrees. Could both the programs be giving a false reading or something, seems strange it would be both. And i wouldn't have thought that the motherboard would run at 117 degrees? Thanks in advance

may help use GPU-Z monitor the GPU and RealTemp_370 for pcu if thous temperatures are ok then you dont wanna check any others hardware temperature.

my gpu is at 38 and my cpu 30, just the motherboard at 117, but like i said in bios it says 20

Is this in C or F? Could be part of the issue, it's possible that the chip on the motherboard could heat up to 117 F if it's passively cooled. Does seem unlikely though.

Are you getting this 117 under load or at idle? Is it in Fahrenheit or Celsius?

It's pretty much impossible for your CPU to run at 30C (depends on cooler, could be doable with an idle load and a good cooler), it is impossible for it to run at 30F unless you're using nitrogen and idling.

sorry should have mentioned that part!

117 C - 242 F

I am not the best with computers so would not know what is and is not possible sorry

Lol! lets assume that the temperature reading is simply WRONG.
Most of these temp issues (in this extreme) are bad readings.

Download corsair link and see what it says for mobo.

That is what i was thinking (and hoping) but two different programs give the same reading, that's confusing me

 

[kapitalistas]

if you use two programs at ones it can show incorrect measures and also HWmonitor software for tomshardware known trustworthy.thats why i gave right programs in my previews post.

Thanks for taking the time to help, i have got three mobo temps on Corsair Link,

27.8C
30C
29.9C

Do you think its safe to say the other temps were false?

 

[APassingMe]

Yes, I think that is a very safe assumption.

Looking much better now

I know this form is old but i have the same mobo as u and getting the same problem. There isnt even any warm air coming out on idle when it says its 116. Did u find any solutions or did u just ignore it ?

hi i have the same problem, all temperature monitoring programs(speccy,corsair link. etc) show high temperatures, about 118 celsius, i have, MB H81M-k , CPU i3 4170, GPU GTX 1070, please help me to solve this problem, thank you in advance.
