[SOLVED] YIKES some high motherboard temperature readings there

[bonechiller1]

Hi all,

Currently running Windows 10 64 bit on an old, DDR3-based Gigabyte H97 Gaming 3 motherboard, with an i5 4690k. Most BIOS settings are at either stock or default, and I am not running a overclock at the moment, with the processor boosting to ~ 3.9 GHz at max. Running an aftermarket Coolermaster 212 Hyper air cooler as well. Got a GTX 1070 on graphics.

If ever I run a pretty intensive game, I usually start CPUID HWMonitor out of habit to record temperatures just to make sure nothing weird is going on in there. As the picture below shows, everything seems to be running fine... BUT DAMN what is going on with TMPIN0!? More than 100C!?

Should I be worried about this or is it perhaps a faulty sensor? I cannot see any notable impact (PC seems to be running fine), but I have never seen a reading this high before.

Don't worry about it. HWMonitor also shows some pretty inane temperature readings for me as well, typically on the TMPIN sensors. I saw one peak at 125C once. Which is extremely unrealistic, as most systems would shut down by then.
