Pci slot overheating

[Explosivx3]

My situation is the following: so the other day I was looking for a program to check my temperatures detailed because on HWMonitor one of the motherboard sensors was reading 93°c and I didn't care too much.

Two days ago I downloaded Aida64 extreme trial and on the sensors tab, I noticed the 90°c was on the PCI express slot. Something is wrong, the gpu never goes above 70°c.

My mobo: Gigabyte Z370m-DS3H
Gpu: MSI GTX 1050 Ti Aero ( it gets powered through the motherboard, no cables connected, maybe there's an issue with that).

Thanks for Helping!

Use Gigabyte System Information Viewer to monitor temperatures on your motherboard. Generic monitoring software not always reads temperature sensors right.

First of all thanks for the help. I did what you said and unfortunately there's no PCI-e sensor, it shows me the temperatures of CPU, PCH, System 1 and VRM MOS, which on idle are 26, 41, 33, 43 respectively. Should I not care?

If motherboard manufacturer software says it's fine, then obviously - generic software has read some sensors wrong.

Well the software doesn't say it's fine, it just shows very few component thermals, so I have no idea if the pci express slot is actually overheating or not.
