Is this a broken sensor? (If it is then I don't want to go through the hassle of claiming warranty for something that won't affect performance)
Is this board physically busted?

i would get that motherboard RMAed and just get a new one. it might be any of the chips getting hot and the board might even catch on fire or just get fried. call Asus and let them know what is happening and get it RAMed.

look what happened to this new EVGA x99 classified motherboard

Any hot temp areas at mobo?
Any high temp in bios?

No high temps in BIOS.

Try different OS for test, coz RMA may not detect problems and you will waste your time from that RMA.

Temps seam fine

3rd party hardware monitors can actually be very unreliable depending on the hardware you have installed. I can say this first hand as an owner of a AMD Kaveri CPU. Some software show my temps high and others show them at normal levels based on what the PC is doing at the time, gaming, idle etc. Just by looking at the BIOS photo I would lean towards your board being ok. It is a bit concerning that both speed fan and HWMonitor show similar temps. I suspect maybe faulty senors

FYI there was no bios photo posted.

 

[convertedconsolegamer_92]

Oops you're right that is the manual or suite photo lol. He should come back and post one because that would pretty much mean the board is bad.

 

[RARRAF]

on his pics they show 38C and 100F nothing wrong with that

Ugh, I accidentally selected you as the best answer. Anyway, how do I post pics from the BIOS? I did go in there to check right after someone suggested and there were no high temps (the BIOS showed the same temps as the suite)

Turn on your PC and start touching the motherboard. If you find a Spot that is really hot then there you go you know that there is something wrong with the board. But if you Touch everywhere and everything is the same Temp then you are okay.

 

[romirez]

Unselected that best answer. Thread still open.
You can make photo of your bios temp status, copy photo on computer and post link here.

So, you have some software tricks. May sleep well.

I'm sorry but what does your reply mean?

 

[romirez]

Looks like you use some programs which show not actual info about temperature.

 

[Vahe Bro A]

its not the programs. if it was the programs they will show inaccurate on everyone who downloads it

...if everyone use the same OS and the same software/hardware- may be the same inaccuracy ofcoz.
